Abstract

In principle the structure of an RNA molecule can he described at three different levels: Primary, i.e., the sequence of nucleotides; secondary, i.e., the base pairing interactions between nucleotides; and tertiary, i.e., the three-dimensional conformation of the entire molecule. For certain species of tRNA one can provide a description of structure at all three levels. For messenger RNA one can specify primary structure for several species, make some models of energetically feasible secondary structures, and say essentially nothing about tertiary structure.
