RNA Features
Uncommon Nucleotides
In addition to the standard bases, RNA molecules often contain modified nucleotides. These modifications can alter the structure and function of RNA molecules, playing roles in stabilizing the structure, protecting RNA from degradation, or modulating its interactions with other molecules.
Ribothymidine
Ribothymidine is a modified nucleotide found in tRNA. It’s part of the unique structure that enables tRNA to correctly read the mRNA code and bring the appropriate amino acids during protein synthesis.
