What are some common nucleic acids in food?

Common nucleic acids in foods are quite simply your four DNA bases (cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine) along with RNA molecules (uracil instead of thymine). read more

Common nucleic acids in foods are quite simply your four DNA bases (cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine) along with RNA molecules (uracil instead of thymine). Interestingly, some microRNA molecules have been found in food and could potentially alter gene expression in the consumer [1, 2] as bioactive compounds. read more

One type of food rich in nucleic acids is fish. Fish flesh is composed of a number of cells, each containing large amounts of nucleic acids. Fish is a great source of healthy proteins that act as building blocks for the human proteins in your own human cells and tissues. read more
