Each ribonucleotide base consists of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Adjacent ribose nucleotide bases are chemically attached to one another in a chain via chemical ...

What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers soon discovered that it can form double-stranded structures, which are ...

But what implications might this phenomenon have for the biochemistry and biological functions of RNA? A first point to note ...

template to a ribose nucleic acid (RNA) transcript, and finally into a functional protein, is fundamental to cellular structure and functions. DNA functions as the blueprint of the cell and ...

PARylation is integral to many key cellular functions, including signaling modulation and DNA repair. PARylation is reversible and is undone by PAR erasers such as poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase (PARG ...
