RNA: Translating the Code of Life

What is RNA? RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a crucial molecule in biology. It plays a vital role in protein synthesis and gene regulation. Structure RNA is a single-stranded molecule. It uses ribose sugar. Function RNA carries genetic information. It facilitates protein synthesis. Types Several types of RNA exist. Each has unique roles.

Types of RNA 1 mRNA Messenger RNA carries genetic code. 2 tRNA Transfer RNA carries amino acids. 3 rRNA Ribosomal RNA forms ribosomes. 4 Other RNAs Many other functional RNAs exist. Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) Regulatory RNAs. Transfer-messenger RNA ( tmRNA ) Ribozymes (RNA enzymes) Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)

The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology DNA Replication DNA duplicates itself. Ensuring genetic continuity. Transcription DNA is transcribed. Creating messenger RNA. Translation mRNA is translated. Producing proteins.

RNA Synthesis (Transcription) 1 Initiation RNA polymerase binds to DNA. 2 Elongation RNA is synthesized. 3 Termination Transcription ends.

RNA Processing and Modification 1. Capping 5' end modification. 2. Splicing Intron removal. 3. Polyadenylation 3' end addition.

The Future of RNA Technology Gene Therapy RNA-based therapies are promising. Treating genetic diseases. Diagnostics RNA detection is crucial. Early disease diagnosis. Research RNA research continues to advance. Uncovering new functions.
