Summary Introduction
To review:
The impact of the presence of single-strand on the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA), in contrast to DNA double helix.
Introduction:
RNA is a nucleic acidthatmainly acts as the carrier of information from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to the proteins. It is formed from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by the process of transcription. Certain RNA molecules (such as micro RNA and small interfering RNA) can perform functions apart from translation. The structure of RNA is different from DNA in terms of thenumber of strands (one in RNA), type of sugar (ribose in RNA) as well as the presence of nitrogenous base, uracil.
