- Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a biologically important type of molecule that consists of a long chain of nucleotide units. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate. ...
- RNA is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on all aspects of RNA molecules; both their structures, metabolism, functions and evolution. The journal was first published in March 1995 by Cambridge University Press, then from 2003 by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. ...
- (RNAS) The Royal Naval Air Service or RNAS was the air arm of the Royal Navy until near the end of the First World War, when it merged with the British Army's Royal Flying Corps to form a new service (the first of its kind in the world), the Royal Air Force. ...
- Ribonucleic acid
- Abbreviation for ribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries out DNA's instructions for making proteins.
- A nucleic acid that helps synthesize protein in the cells.
- A single-stranded molecule composed of chemical building blocks, similar to DNA. The RNA segments in cells represent copies of portions of the DNA sequences in the nucleus. RNA is the sole genetic material of retroviruses.
- A chemical found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells; it plays an important role in protein synthesis and other chemical activities of the cell. The structure of RNA is similar to that of DNA. ...
