Let us make an in-depth study of the RNA processing. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Processing of Eukaryotic mRNA 2. RNA Splicing and Mechanisms of Splicing and 3. Processing of tRNA. Almost all types of RNA molecules undergo post synthesis transformation which is called RNA processing. Prokaryotic mRNA is generally not processed. In prokaryotes 5'-end of [...]
The following points highlight the top three types of RNA. The types of RNA are: 1. Transfer RNA (tRNA) 2. Messenger RNA (mRNA) and 3. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA). RNA Type # 1. Transfer RNA (tRNA): It delivers amino acids to ribosome and decodes the information of mRNA. Each nucleotide triplet codon on mRNA represents an amino acid. The tRNA plays [...]
