It differentiates RNA from DNA, explaining key structural differences and the role of functional groups. The document explores RNA secondary and tertiary structures, describing common motifs and their influence on RNA folding and function.

They also have the pyrimidine base uracil instead of thymine. These two small changes (but mostly the first) confer on it a very different set of biological functions than DNA. This should not surprise us and the basis of all chemistry and biochemistry is that chemical structure determines chemical and biochemical functions and activities.
