Nucleic Acids 
Nucleic acids are 
polymers of 
nucleotides 
They include 
DNA(deoxyribonucle 
ic acid) and 
RNA(ribonucleic 
acid); 
-which are found in 
living systems RNA

Structure of RNA 
Back bone is sugar and phosphate group 
Nitrogenous bases linked to sugar moiety project from 
the backbone 
Nitrogenous bases are linked to pentose sugar through 
N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside 
Phosphate group is linked with 3’OH of nucleoside 
through phosphoester linkage 
2 nucleotides are linked through 3’-5’-phosphodiester 
linkage to form a dinucleotide
More and more such groups will be linked to form a poly 
nucleotide chain 
Such a polymer has a free phosphate moiety at 5’ end of 
ribose sugar and it is called as 5’-end of polynucleotide chain 
At other end, ribose has free 3’-OH group which is called 
as the 3’-end of polynucleotide chain 
In RNA, every nucleotide has an additional-OH present at 
2’-position of ribose
Ribonucleic acid 
Ribonucleic acid, or RNA is one of the 
major biological macromolecules that are 
essential for all known forms of life (along 
with DNA and proteins) 
 Each nucleotide in RNA contains 
a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' 
through 5'. A base is attached to the 1' 
position, in general, 
adenine (A), cytosine (C), 
guanine(G), and uracil (U).
Structure of RNA
Synthesis 
Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme— 
RNA polymerase 
By using DNA as a template 
The process is known as transcription 
There are also a number of RNA-dependent RNA 
polymerases that use RNA as their template for synthesis 
of a new strand of RNA 
A number of RNA viruses (such as poliovirus) use this 
type of enzyme to replicate their genetic material
Types of RNA 
Transfer RNA (tRNA) 
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Messenger RNA (mRNA) 
 Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries information about a 
protein sequence to the ribosomes, the protein 
synthesis factories in the cell 
 It is coded so that every three nucleotides (a codon) 
correspond to one amino acid 
 . In eukaryotic cells, once precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) 
has been transcribed from DNA, it is 
processed to mature mRNA 
 This removes its introns—non-coding sections of the 
pre-mRNA 
 The mRNA is then exported from the nucleus to the 
cytoplasm, where it is bound to ribosomes 
and translated into its corresponding protein form 
with the help of tRNA
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the catalytic 
component of the ribosomes 
 Eukaryotic ribosomes contain four different 
rRNA molecules: 18S, 5.8S, 28S and 5S rRNA 
 Three of the rRNA molecules are synthesized 
in the nucleolus, and one is synthesized elsewher 
. In the cytoplasm, ribosomal RNA and protein 
combine to form a nucleoprotein called a 
ribosome 
 The ribosome binds mRNA and carries out 
protein synthesis 
 Several ribosomes may be attached to a single 
mRNA at any time. 
Nearly all the RNA found in a typical 
eukaryotic cell is rRNA.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) 
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA 
chain of about 80 nucleotides 
 It transfers a specific amino acid to a 
growing polypeptide chain at the 
ribosomal site of protein synthesis during 
translation 
 It has sites for amino acid attachment 
and an anticodon region 
for codon recognition that binds to a 
specific sequence on the messenger RNA 
chain through hydrogen bonding
Double-stranded RNA
Small Nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). 
Sn RNA s are involved in the process of splicing (intron removal) of primary 
transcript to form mature m RNA. The Sn RNA s form complexes with proteins 
to form Ribonucleoprotein particles called snRNPs 
Biochemistry For Medics 16
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) 
microRNAs, short non-coding RNAs present in all living organisms, have 
been shown to regulate the expression of at least half of all human 
genes. These single-stranded RNAs exert their regulatory action by 
binding messenger RNAs and preventing their translation into 
proteins. 
Biochemistry For Medics 17
Small Interfering RNAs (siRNAs) 
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are 20-25 nucleotide-long double-stranded RNA 
molecules that have a variety of roles in the cell. They are involved in the RNA 
interference (RNAi) pathway, where it interferes with the expression of a 
specific gene by hybridizing to its corresponding RNA sequence in the 
target mRNA. This then activates the degrading mRNA. Once the target 
mRNA is degraded, the mRNA cannot be translated into protein. Biochemistry For Medics 18
Guide RNA (gRNA) are RNA genes that function in RNA editing, 
found in mitochondria by inserting or deleting stretches of uridylates (Us) . 
The gRNA forms part of editosome and contain sequences to hybridize to 
matching sequences in the mRNA to guide the mRNA modifications. 
Complementary RNA( cRNA ) viral RNA that is transcribed from 
negative sense RNA and serves as a template for protein synthesis 
Negative sense RNA viral RNA with a base sequence complementary to that 
of mRNA during replication it serves as a template to the transcription of viral 
complementary RNA

FUNCTIONS OF DIFFERENT RNA 
mRNA – It carries genetic formation of DNA ( Gene ) for protein 
synthesis from nucleus to ribosome in the form of genetic code 
tRNA – Acts as adapter molecule ,carries Amino Acid and drops it to 
particular location by recognising codon on mRNA by virtue of having 
anticodon 
rRNA – It makes complex with proteins and form ribosomal subunits 
which provide space for protein synthesis ,single ribosomal RNA of 
smaller subunit helps correct orientation of mRNA during attachment 
with respect to P and A sites 
10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 20
snRNA – play significat role in eukayotic mRNA processing 
By splicing of exons as snRNPs or snurps U1,U2, U4,U5 &U6 
scRNA – being component of Signal Recognition Particle (SRP ) helps 
in targetting of seceretary proteins 
snoRNA – Plays role in gene silencing 
miRNA – play important role in gene silencing by blocking mRNA and 
preventing translation 
10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 21
Si RNA – Plays important role in gene silencing by interfering 
transcription 
gRNA- help in RNA editing in mitochondria , forms part of editosome 
and hybridize with matching sequence of mRNA 
Catalytic RNA –Ribozymes act as protein enzymes in catalyzing 
removal of intron, peptide bond formation etc 
aRNA- antisense RNA - is artificially used to block translation of 
perticular messenger RNAs so as to prevent formation of some 
harmful proteins

structure types and function of RNA

  • 1. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Adnan Bhanwadia
  • 2. What we will be discussing? Nucleic acids Nucleotides Nucleoside Nitrogenous bases Pentose sugar RNA Introduction Structure Different types & functions Conclusion
  • 3. Nucleic Acids Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides They include DNA(deoxyribonucle ic acid) and RNA(ribonucleic acid); -which are found in living systems RNA
  • 4. Nucleotide NITROGENOUS PENTOSE PHOSPHATE BASES SUGAR GROUP PURINES PYRIMIDINES RIBOSE DEOXYRIBOSE
  • 5. Nitrogenous bases Pyrimidines Cytosine(C) Thymine(T) Uracil(U) Purines Adenine(A) Guanine(G)
  • 6. Structure of RNA Back bone is sugar and phosphate group Nitrogenous bases linked to sugar moiety project from the backbone Nitrogenous bases are linked to pentose sugar through N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside Phosphate group is linked with 3’OH of nucleoside through phosphoester linkage 2 nucleotides are linked through 3’-5’-phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide
  • 7. More and more such groups will be linked to form a poly nucleotide chain Such a polymer has a free phosphate moiety at 5’ end of ribose sugar and it is called as 5’-end of polynucleotide chain At other end, ribose has free 3’-OH group which is called as the 3’-end of polynucleotide chain In RNA, every nucleotide has an additional-OH present at 2’-position of ribose
  • 8. Ribonucleic acid Ribonucleic acid, or RNA is one of the major biological macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life (along with DNA and proteins)  Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5'. A base is attached to the 1' position, in general, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine(G), and uracil (U).
  • 10. Synthesis Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme— RNA polymerase By using DNA as a template The process is known as transcription There are also a number of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases that use RNA as their template for synthesis of a new strand of RNA A number of RNA viruses (such as poliovirus) use this type of enzyme to replicate their genetic material
  • 11. Types of RNA Transfer RNA (tRNA) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Messenger RNA (mRNA)
  • 12. Messenger RNA (mRNA)  Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries information about a protein sequence to the ribosomes, the protein synthesis factories in the cell  It is coded so that every three nucleotides (a codon) correspond to one amino acid  . In eukaryotic cells, once precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) has been transcribed from DNA, it is processed to mature mRNA  This removes its introns—non-coding sections of the pre-mRNA  The mRNA is then exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is bound to ribosomes and translated into its corresponding protein form with the help of tRNA
  • 13. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the catalytic component of the ribosomes  Eukaryotic ribosomes contain four different rRNA molecules: 18S, 5.8S, 28S and 5S rRNA  Three of the rRNA molecules are synthesized in the nucleolus, and one is synthesized elsewher . In the cytoplasm, ribosomal RNA and protein combine to form a nucleoprotein called a ribosome  The ribosome binds mRNA and carries out protein synthesis  Several ribosomes may be attached to a single mRNA at any time. Nearly all the RNA found in a typical eukaryotic cell is rRNA.
  • 14. Transfer RNA (tRNA) Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA chain of about 80 nucleotides  It transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation  It has sites for amino acid attachment and an anticodon region for codon recognition that binds to a specific sequence on the messenger RNA chain through hydrogen bonding
  • 16. Small Nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). Sn RNA s are involved in the process of splicing (intron removal) of primary transcript to form mature m RNA. The Sn RNA s form complexes with proteins to form Ribonucleoprotein particles called snRNPs Biochemistry For Medics 16
  • 17. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) microRNAs, short non-coding RNAs present in all living organisms, have been shown to regulate the expression of at least half of all human genes. These single-stranded RNAs exert their regulatory action by binding messenger RNAs and preventing their translation into proteins. Biochemistry For Medics 17
  • 18. Small Interfering RNAs (siRNAs) Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are 20-25 nucleotide-long double-stranded RNA molecules that have a variety of roles in the cell. They are involved in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, where it interferes with the expression of a specific gene by hybridizing to its corresponding RNA sequence in the target mRNA. This then activates the degrading mRNA. Once the target mRNA is degraded, the mRNA cannot be translated into protein. Biochemistry For Medics 18
  • 19. Guide RNA (gRNA) are RNA genes that function in RNA editing, found in mitochondria by inserting or deleting stretches of uridylates (Us) . The gRNA forms part of editosome and contain sequences to hybridize to matching sequences in the mRNA to guide the mRNA modifications. Complementary RNA( cRNA ) viral RNA that is transcribed from negative sense RNA and serves as a template for protein synthesis Negative sense RNA viral RNA with a base sequence complementary to that of mRNA during replication it serves as a template to the transcription of viral complementary RNA 10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 19
  • 20. FUNCTIONS OF DIFFERENT RNA mRNA – It carries genetic formation of DNA ( Gene ) for protein synthesis from nucleus to ribosome in the form of genetic code tRNA – Acts as adapter molecule ,carries Amino Acid and drops it to particular location by recognising codon on mRNA by virtue of having anticodon rRNA – It makes complex with proteins and form ribosomal subunits which provide space for protein synthesis ,single ribosomal RNA of smaller subunit helps correct orientation of mRNA during attachment with respect to P and A sites 10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 20
  • 21. snRNA – play significat role in eukayotic mRNA processing By splicing of exons as snRNPs or snurps U1,U2, U4,U5 &U6 scRNA – being component of Signal Recognition Particle (SRP ) helps in targetting of seceretary proteins snoRNA – Plays role in gene silencing miRNA – play important role in gene silencing by blocking mRNA and preventing translation 10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 21
  • 22. Si RNA – Plays important role in gene silencing by interfering transcription gRNA- help in RNA editing in mitochondria , forms part of editosome and hybridize with matching sequence of mRNA Catalytic RNA –Ribozymes act as protein enzymes in catalyzing removal of intron, peptide bond formation etc aRNA- antisense RNA - is artificially used to block translation of perticular messenger RNAs so as to prevent formation of some harmful proteins 10/8/2014 Structure of Nucleic Acid:RNA 22
