	The RNASociety WebSite
		The RNA Society was formed in 1993 to facilitate sharing and dissemination of experimental results and emerging concepts in ribonucleic acid research.
		The Society encompasses RNA research in the broadest sense: from the ribosome to the spliceosome, from RNA viruses to catalytic RNAs.
		The RNA journal is a publication of the RNA Society.

	RNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RNA serves as the template for translation of genes into proteins, transferring amino acids to the ribosome to form proteins, and also translating the transcript into proteins.
		Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the protein synthetic factories in the cell.
		RNA genes (sometimes referred to as non-coding RNA or small RNA) are genes that encode RNA that is not translated into a protein.

	RNA Synthesis
		Transcription is the mechanism by which a template strand of DNA is utilized by specific RNA polymerases to generate one of the three different classifications of RNA.
		Messenger RNAs (mRNAs): This class of RNAs are the genetic coding templates used by the translational machinery to determine the order of amino acids incorporated into an elongating polypeptide in the process of translation.
		The resultant RNA is, therefore, complimentary to the template strand of the DNA duplex and identical to the non-template strand.

	RNA
		The RNA triphosphatases of fungi and protozoa are structurally and mechanistically unrelated to the analogous mammalian enzyme, a situation that recommends RNA triphosphatase as an anti-infective target.
		The structural heterogeneity of HDV genotype III RNA is significant because not only are both conformations of the RNA functionally important for viral replication, but the ratio of the two forms could modulate editing by determining the amount of substrate RNA available for modification.
		Using an RNA affinity technique, Western blotting, mass spectrometry, and a supershift assay, the protein was identified as Elongation factor 1alpha (eEF1alpha).

	Ribonucleic Acid - MSN Encarta
		RNA differs chemically from DNA in two ways: The RNA sugar molecule contains an oxygen atom not found in DNA, and RNA contains the base uracil in the place of the base thymine in DNA.
		The base of each RNA nucleotide in one chain pairs with a complementary base in the second chain—that is, adenine pairs with uracil, and guanine pairs with cytosine.
		Based on this evidence, some scientists suspect that the RNA portion of ribonuclease-P may be the modern equivalent of the earliest genetic molecule, the molecule that first enabled replication to occur in primitive cells.

	RNA structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The covalent structure of RNA differs from that of DNA in two basic ways (a) ribonucleic acid so the sugar unit in the nucleotides is ribose rather than deoxyribose (b) no thymine found in RNA its replaced by uracil U. Uracil can base pair with adenine.
		RNA molecules are single stranded except in some viruses however it is possible for RNA molecules to fold on themselves to form short regions of double helix by forming a hair-pin loop.
		Base pairing in RNA hairpin loops is frequently imperfect, often opposite bases cannot base pair, and one or more bases along a strand may be looped out in order for base pairing to occur by proper base pairing.

	Subverting the Genetic Text
		The whole RNA underworld also resembles an enormous espionage network in which genetic information is stolen, or gets re-routed as it is transmitted, or transformed, corrupted, destroyed, and in some cases, returned to the source file in a totally different form.
		And B2 RNA is required for the concomitant inhibition of RNA polymerase II during heat shock, by interacting directly with the enzyme, preventing it from working.
		RNA polymerase II is involved in the transcription of all protein-coding RNA.

	An RNA Structure Primer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		RNA is ribonucleic acid, a close cousin of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA.
		RNA molecules are built from three basic components: ribose, a five-carbon suger, phosphate, and a family of four heterocyclic bases.
		Although RNA molecules are linear polymers, they fold back on themselves to make intricate secondary and tertiary structures that are essential for them to perform their biological roles.

	The RNA World: A Critique - Origins & Design 17:1. Mills, Gordon and Kenyon, Dean
		Naturally occuring RNA catalytic activities are actually restricted to a small set of highly specialized reactions, e.g., the processing of RNA transcripts primarily in eukaryotic cells.
		Moreover, molecular biologists may discover additional catalytic roles of RNA in living cells, although the variety of such roles is not expected to rival that of the protein enzymes.
		RNA molecules with catalytic activity that are known today predominantly have nuclease or nucleotidyl transferase activity with some minimal esterase actitivy22.

		Because of the extra hydroxyl group on the sugar, RNA is too bulky to form a a stable double helix.
		The RNA molecule with its hairpin loops is said to have a secondary structure.

		In the base paired region, the RNA molecule adopts a helical structure as in DNA.

	The RNA World
		The phrase "The RNA World" was coined by Walter Gilbert in 1986 in a commentary on the then recent observations of the catalytic properties of various RNAs.
		During this stage, proteins were not yet engaged in biochemical reactions and RNA carried out both the information storage task of genetic information and the full range of catalytic roles necessary in a very primitive self-replicating system.
		We soon suggested that the RNA subunit of RNase P was part of the active center of the enzyme, by analogy to the then current picture of the ribosome.

		It was prescient of Crick to guess that RNA could act as an enzyme, because that was not known for sure until it was proven in the 1980s by Nobel Prize-winning researcher Thomas R. Cech (2) and others.
		RNA is then relegated to the intermediate role it has today—no longer the center of the stage, displaced by DNA and the more effective protein enzymes.
