Nucleic acid hybridization Nucleic acid hybridization In molecular biology, hybridization (or hybridisation) is a phenomenon in which single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules anneal to complementary DNA or RNA. Though a double-stranded DNA sequence is generally stable under physiological conditions, changing these conditions in the laboratory (generally by raising the surrounding temperature) will cause the molecules to separate into single strands. These strands are complementary to each other but may also be complementary to other sequences present in their surroundings. Lowering the surrounding temperature allows the single-stranded molecules to anneal or “hybridize” to each other. DNA replication and transcription of
Benzenesulfonic acid sometimes called alkaline fusion, initially affords the phenoxide salt: The process has been largely displaced by the Hock process, which generates less waste. Benzensulfonic acid is commonly used as the active ingredient in laundry detergent used in clothes washing machines. Benzenesulfonic acid is often used to convert to other specialty chemicals. A variety of pharmaceutical drugs are prepared as benzenesulfonate salts and are known as besilates (INN) or besylates (USAN). In a diluted form, it is also used as a polymer remover stripping agent. Benzenesulfonic acid Benzenesulfonic acid (conjugate base benzenesulfonate) is an organosulfur compound with the formula CHOS. It
