How can this organic molecule control your characteristics? DNA contains instructions for all the proteins your body makes. Proteins, in turn, determine the structure and function of all your cells. What determines a protein's structure? It begins with the sequence of amino acids that make up the protein. Instructions for making proteins with the correct sequence of amino acids are encoded in DNA.

An RNA strand can undergo significant intramolecular base pairing to take on a three-dimensional structure. There are three main types of RNA, all involved in protein synthesis. Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the intermediary between DNA and the synthesis of protein products during translation.

It highlights their role in RNA processing, particularly in tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, often through self-splicing. Key examples include ribonuclease P and Group I and II introns. Additionally, it touches on spliceosomes and viroids, noting that viroids can infect plants and exhibit self-splicing capabilities similar to ribozymes.
