RNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 phosph...

The two chief types of nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the hereditary information from generation to generation, and RNA (ribonucleic acid), which delivers the instructions coded in this information to the cell's protein manufacturing sites.

Also, the nitrogenous bases found in the two nucleic acid types are different: ... Nucleic acids are usually either single-stranded or double-stranded, though structures with three or more strands can form. A double-stranded nucleic acid consists of two single-stranded nucleic acids held together by hydrogen bonds,

Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) ... Last week we were discussing the major types of macromolecules, their subunits, and their general importance. We talked about three that appear routinely on the side of the foods you eat. Only one type remains, Nucleic Acids, that is unlikely to appear on the side of your food container.

The C-terminal nucleic acid binding domain spanning over 26 amino acid residues is prominent because it comprises three copies of the RRRS peptide. Domains of the latter type are considered to be involved in RNA and DNA-binding because comprised in many RNA and DNA-binding proteins.
