Examples of use of RNA
1. The viral RNA is "negative sense" RNA –– a mirror image of the messenger RNA the cell uses to make its own proteins.
2. In RNA interference, certain molecules trigger the destruction of RNA from a particular gene, so that no protein is produced.
3. Although they previously published data indicating that phi2' RNA nanoparticles are more stable than other RNA, Guo said the team still needs to find better ways to protect the RNA from degradation by enzymes in the body.
4. These instructions are conveyed by messenger RNA.
5. The others are RNA aptamers, which bind to cancer cell surface markers, and ribozymes, which can be designed to degrade specific RNA in cancer cells or viruses.
