Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a linear molecule composed of four types of smaller molecules called ribonucleotide bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U). RNA is often compared ...

Using current techniques, one can incorporate biotinylated ribonucleotide monophosphates (for example, UMP or CMP) into RNAs, or only tag the RNA 5′ end by using a biotin derivative of the 5 ...
