Crick的中心法则（central dogma） From DNA to Protein 2006 年度诺贝尔化学奖：描述真核细胞的转录 Secondary structure of RNA Functions of RNAs Functions in protein synthesis a. mRNA: as the intermediate between the gene and the protein-synthesizing machinery. b. tRNA: as an adaptor between the codons in the mRNA and amino acids. c. rRNA: play a structural role, as in the case of the RNA components of the ribosome. As genetic material Serving as a template for its own replication in certain viruses RNA as catalysts (ribozyme) Some RNAs (including one of the structural RNAs of the ribosome) are
