    I don't think it does stand for radical. Side chains are not radicals!! Here it is just the side chain of an amino acid (for example, the side chain of Glycine is just H and for alanine it is CH3). I always took R groups in organic chemistry to be an organic group (where R sort of stood for rest [of the molecule])

    Triple-helix DNA?

    donkey replied to Xyph's topic in Biology
    oligonucleotides are not the name for triple helices btw, they are simply a short stretch of single stranded (single helix - err kinda) DNA. Also, i think you probably mean RNAi and not iRNA but yeah i'll stop nitpicking now
