In this article we will discuss about the structure of RNA. The RNA is usually single stranded except some viruses such as TMV, yellow mosaic virus, influenza virus, foot and mouth disease virus, reovirus, wound tumour virus, etc. which have dsRNA. The single strand of the RNA is folded either at certain regions or entirely to form hairpin-shaped structure. In [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between DNA and RNA. Difference # DNA: 1. DNA is originated from RNA. 2. DNA is the genetic material of almost all living organisms. 3. Except a few (e.g. Φ * 174), most of DNA viruses is double stranded. 4. Pentose Sugar is deoxyribose. 5. The bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine [...]
The below mentioned article provides notes on palindromic DNA. In the DNA molecule a variety of base sequences have been observed. Most of them do not have special features. The repeated sequences are of particular interest because they are the site of enzymatic activity and, sometimes give special features to the nucleic acid. For the first time Wilson and Thomas [...]
