Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule of 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from a mRNA molecule. Transfer RNA (tRNA) have a tertiary structure that resembles a clover leaf.
hnRNA stands for heterogeneous nuclear RNA. As its name suggests, hnRNA is a term that encompasses various types and sizes of RNAs found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.
Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is the RNA component of the ribosome and is essential for protein synthesis.
