RNA eli ribonukleiinihappo

(a) DNA is typically double stranded, whereas RNA is typically single stranded. (b) Although it is single stranded, RNA can fold upon itself, with the folds stabilized by short areas of complementary base pairing within the molecule, forming a three-dimensional structure.; https://cnx.org/contents/5CvTdmJL@6.1:hRuNts1p@5/10-3-Structure-and-Function-of-RNA#OSC_Microbio_10_03_RNAStruct2; Download for free at http://cnx.org/contents/e42bd376-624b-4c0f-972f-e0c57998e765@6.1.Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 license.

(a) Ribonucleotides contain the pentose sugar ribose instead of the deoxyribose found in deoxyribonucleotides. (b) RNA contains the pyrimidine uracil in place of thymine found in DNA.

  

A generalized illustration of how mRNA and tRNA are used in protein synthesis within a cell.

  

A tRNA molecule is a single-stranded molecule that exhibits significant intracellular base pairing, giving it its characteristic three-dimensional shape.
