Dna Replication
Linked via "RNA"
DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA/) in the $5'$ to $3'$ direction. Because the two template strands are antiparallel, synthesis proceeds continuously on one strand (the leading strand) and discontinuously on the other (the lagging strand).
Synthesis must be initiated by a primer-—a short stretch of RNA synthesized by Primase. The primer provides the necessary $3'… -
Molecular Biology
Linked via "RNA"
Molecular biology is the branch of biology that concerns the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell, RNA, and protein synthesis, and the way these interactions are regulated. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms that govern the flow and interpretation of genetic information within bio…

The Molecular Machinery
The primary molecular components studied in this field are the macromolecules essential for life: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and various classes of proteins.

Transfer Rna
Linked via "ribonucleic acid"
Transfer RNA (tRNA) ($\text{tRNA}$) is a small, highly structured type of ribonucleic acid molecule integral to the process of translation, wherein the genetic information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) ($\text{mRNA}$) is decoded by the ribosome to synthesize proteins. Its primary function is to act as an adapter molecule, physically linking specific sequences of nucleotides on th…
