Structure of RNA

 

Purin bases

 

They are derivatives of →  purine

Elements of the structure of RNA, they determine the sequence of amino acids in the proteins of which RNA will direct the synthesis

In RNA, adenine and guanine are attached to ribose:

These structural elements are linked by phosphate groups to form parts of RNA chains:

Portion of RNA (Reading from 5 ' to 3' ): Ad & eacute ; nine - Guanine

Pyrimidine bases:

They are derivatives of →  pyrimidine

RNA structural elements, they too partly determine the sequence of amino acids in proteins

In RNA, uracil and cytosine are attached to ribose:

These structural elements are linked by phosphate groups to form RNA chains:

Portion of RNA (Reading from 5 ' to 3' ): Uracil - Uracil - Cytosine

Hydrogen bridges

The bases of RNA and DNA chains combine by hydrogen bridges as follows:
