3 days ago · RNA, complex compound of high molecular weight that functions in cellular protein synthesis and replaces DNA as a carrier of genetic codes in some viruses. RNA consists of ribose …

The chemical structure of RNA is very similar to that of DNA, but differs in three primary ways: Unlike double-stranded DNA, RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule (ssRNA) [4] in many of its …

Aug 3, 2023 · RNA (Ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule and made up of ribonucleotides. A ribose nucleotide in the chain of RNA consists of a ribose sugar, phosphate group, …

Jul 29, 2023 · The primary structure of RNA is composed of nucleotides attached by 5’-3’ phosphodiester bonds between ribose sugars. Ribose has the molecular formula C5H10O5 and has …

RNA is typically single stranded and is made of ribonucleotides that are linked by phosphodiester bonds. A ribonucleotide in the RNA chain contains ribose (the pentose sugar), one of the four nitrogenous …
