RNA Functions

Most RNAs function in an information carrying and/or processing mode in the cell. The overall information processes of the cell are given in the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology: DNA makes RNA makes Protein. RNA is involved as a carrier of information, as translator or adaptor of RNA information into protein information, and as catalyst for the synthesis of the peptide bond.
