Structure of RNA (With Diagram)| Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the structure of RNA. RNA is a long un-branched polynucleotide chain chemically similar to DNA except for two major differences. The sugar in DNA is a deoxyribose, in RNA a ribose. Out of the 4 nucleotides, three (G, C and A) are identical in DNA and RNA. The fourth is thymine in DNA, [...]

Structure of RNA | Biochemistry

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 [...]
