"Structure and Function of Nucleic Acids" is an academic discipline that covers the molecular foundations of the structural and functional features of nucleic acids, which act as the material basis of heredity and variability both in the composition of chromatin and in interaction with various proteins and molecules of other classes. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of regulation of nucleic acid metabolism, as well as to the modern methodology for elucidating the processes underlying the molecular biology of DNA and RNA, to the detailed study of the course and regulation of metabolism of both nucleic acids and their individual components.
