That monster is 48 letters long, still smoking the longest English words by a lot. We promised help pronouncing the formerly-longest German word at the beginning of the article, so here it is. Let us know how you do in the comments below! Share 0
Ribonucleic acid, or RNA is one of the three major biological macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life (along with DNA and proteins). central tenet of molecular biology states that the flow of genetic information in a cell is from DNA through RNA to proteins: âDNA makes RNA makes proteinâ.
RNA is synthesized using DNA as a model molecule. This process, termed transcription, is initiated by a catalyst molecule named RNA polymerase. Then, RNA serves as a more functional version of DNA, allowing genetic material to dictate particular protein synthesis within the body.
