Introduction

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid molecule that plays a critical role in protein synthesis and gene expression. RNA is composed of a chain of nucleotides that are linked together by covalent bonds. Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil), and a phosphate group.
