  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.
Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme, RNA polymerase, using DNA as a template.
RNA genes (sometimes referred to as non-coding RNA or small RNA) are genes that encode RNA that is not translated into a protein.

 Transcription (genetics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RNA polymerase transcribes the DNA, but produces about 10 abortive (short, non-productive) transcripts which are unable to leave the RNA polymerase because the exit channel is blocked by the σ-factor.
RNA Polymerase III is localized to the nucleus (and possibly the nucleolar-nucleoplasm interface), and transcribes transfer RNA (tRNA) and other small RNAs (including the small 5S rRNA).
RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase had been established in vitro by several laboratories by 1965; however, the RNA synthesized by these enzymes had properties that suggested the existence of an additional factor needed to terminate transcription correctly.

 RNA Synthesis
The resultant RNA is, therefore, complimentary to the template strand of the DNA duplex and identical to the non-template strand.
Synthesis of RNA exhibits several features that are synonymous with DNA replication.
Elongation involves the addition of the 5'-phosphate of ribonucleotides to the 3'-OH of the elongating RNA with the concomitant release of pyrophosphate.

 DNA, RNA and Protein Synthesis
The structural difference with DNA is that RNA contains a -OH group both at the 2' and 3' position of the ribose ring, whereas DNA (which stands, in fact, for deoxy-RNA) lacks such a hydroxy group at the 2' position of the ribose.
The same bases can be attached to the ribose group in RNA as occur in DNA, with the exception that in RNA thymine does not occur, and is replaced by uracil, which has an H-group instead of a methyl group at the C-5 position of the pyrimidine.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to the ribosomes, to enable the ribosomes to put this amino acid on the protein that is being synthesized as an elongating chain of amino acid residues, using the information on the mRNA to "know" which amino acid should be put on next.

 Protein Synthesis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In the synthesis of RNA during transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase moves along the DNA helix, unwinding small portions of the helix as it goes.
The segment of the DNA molecule from which an RNA molecule is transcribed is in a sense equivalent to a gene, or a segment of DNA that (through RNA) specifies a protein.
RNA polymerase can begin assembling chains of new RNA bases only after it identifies and binds to a specific DNA sequence in a regulatory region known as a promoter.

 The Three Roles of RNA in Protein Synthesis
The accurate synthesis of proteins thus is critical to the proper functioning of cells and organisms.
The three types of RNA participate in this essential protein-synthesizing pathway in all cells; in fact, the development of the three distinct functions of RNA was probably the molecular key to the origin of life.
Successful in vitro synthesis of a naturally occurring protein was achieved first when mRNA from bacteriophage F2 (a virus) was added to bacterial extracts, leading to formation of the coat, or capsid, protein (the "packaging" protein that covers the virus particle).
