The stability of DNA in chloride-malonic acid deep eutectic solvent at different concentration / Nur Fikriyah Ariffin

DNA is one of the most essential macromolecules in cells, holding the genetic information needed for living beings to grow and function. Finding a medium in which DNA is both soluble and stable over a long length of time is a tough task. As a result, deep eutectic solvents (DES) were proposed as a n...
