Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)

Target: RNA
Molecular classification: Nucleic acid macromolecule

Overview

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a high-molecular-weight, polymeric molecule essential for various biological roles, including coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. In some viruses, RNA replaces DNA as the carrier of genetic information. It is primarily intracellular and can be targeted by small molecules, antibiotics, antisense oligonucleotides, and siRNAs to disrupt its function or modulate gene expression.
