Androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, affects millions worldwide, offering few treatment ...

Put down the rosemary oil and pause the red light therapy, research suggests the secret to curing male pattern baldness could lie in a sugar that occurs naturally in our bodies. In a mouse model of ...

This molecule forms part of the sugar-phosphate backbone of RNA, molecular workhorses within cells responsible for reading and carrying out instructions encoded in DNA.

We found that NPH-II required a continuous ribose-phosphate backbone in the loading strand of its substrates and that interactions with nucleobases were not essential for NPH-II function.

Instead, it is likely that interactions occur with the ribose-phosphate backbone, which is accessible from the major groove in A′-form helices, although recognition of consecutive N-7 positions ...

New research suggests that the sugar ribose -- the "R" in RNA -- is probably found in comets and asteroids that zip through the solar system and may be more abundant throughout the universe than ...

The nucleic acid adenosine triphosphate (ATP), made up of an adenine nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, is involved in generating energy for cellular processes.

It has two parts. One part lets the ribonucleotide bind to the ribonucleotides on either side, to form a backbone. It’s made of phosphate and a sugar called ribose.

Scientists reported that they'd managed to produce ribose - a sugar that probably formed the backbone of an early version of life - and other essential molecules. (Representational Image) Scott ...

RNA is a single stranded molecule containing a ribose sugar. It has a distinctive structure and, unlike DNA, there are variations and various types of RNA structures.

TNA, like DNA and RNA, has a sugar phosphate backbone that carries information as a sequence of four different bases (A,T,C and G for short).
