2025年2月7日 · RNA, complex compound of high molecular weight that functions in cellular protein synthesis and replaces DNA as a carrier of genetic codes in some viruses. RNA consists of ribose nucleotides and the nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. Learn about the structure, types, and functions of RNA.
RNA: Properties, Structure, Composition, Types, Functions
2023年8月3日 · The three-dimensional structure of RNA is critical to its stability and function. RNA being a single-stranded molecule can form a complex structure by allowing its ribose sugars and bases to be modified on the action of cellular enzymes (that attach chemical groups), to perform different functions.

2023年7月29日 · What is the composition of RNA? The primary structure of RNA is composed of nucleotides attached by 5’-3’ phosphodiester bonds between ribose sugars. Ribose has the molecular formula C5H10O5 and has a naturally occurring D-ribose form and a less common L-ribose. The D and L designations refer to the hydroxyl group positions.
