RNA
RNA (ribonucleic acid) A complex organic compound (a nucleic acid) in living cells that is concerned with
protein synthesis. In some viruses, RNA is also the hereditary material. Most RNA is synthesized in the nucleus and then distributed to various parts of the cytoplasm. An RNA molecule consists of a long chain of
nucleotides in which the sugar is
ribose and the bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil (see illustration; compare
DNA).
Messenger RNA (
mRNA) is responsible for carrying the
genetic code transcribed from DNA to specialized sites within the cell (known as
ribosomes), where the information is translated into protein composition (see
transcription;
translation).
Ribosomal RNA (
rRNA) is present in ribosomes; it is single-stranded but helical regions are formed by
base pairing within the strand.
Transfer RNA (
tRNA,
soluble RNA,
sRNA) is involved in the assembly of amino acids in a protein chain being synthesized at a ribosome. Each tRNA is specific for an amino acid and bears a triplet of bases complementary with a triplet on mRNA (see
anticodon;
elongation). RNA can associate with proteins to form complexes called
ribonucleoproteins. See also
antisense RNA;
RNA processing.
