The more researchers examine RNA, the more surprises they continue to uncover. What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers ...

In fact, rRNA is sometimes called a ribozyme or catalytic RNA to reflect this function. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomes are different from each other as a result of divergent evolution.

This article describes the production of 18S, 5.8S, 28s, and 5S rRNAs in eukaryotes, and post-translational modifications of tRNA and mRNA.

The multi-gene family that encodes ribosomal RNA (the rDNA) has been the subject of numerous review articles examining its structure and function, as well as its use as a molecular systematic marker.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 82, No. 20 (Oct. 15, 1985), pp. 6955-6959 (5 pages) Although the applicability of small subunit ribosomal RNA (16S ...
