RNAMetabolism
RNA metabolism refers to the processes by which ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are synthesized, modified, and degraded within a cell. This dynamic process is crucial for gene expression and regulation, as well as for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. RNA metabolism involves several key steps, including transcription, processing, modification, localization, and degradation.
Transcription is the initial step in RNA metabolism, where the DNA sequence is copied into a complementary
RNA modification involves the addition of chemical groups to specific nucleotides within the RNA sequence. These
RNA localization refers to the process by which RNA molecules are transported to specific cellular compartments,
Finally, RNA degradation is the process by which RNA molecules are broken down and recycled. This process
Overall, RNA metabolism is a complex and highly regulated process that plays a critical role in gene
