Figure 3. The structure of RNA.

Figure 3

An RNA strand containing the four nucleotides with the nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U) respectively. The 3′ carbon of the ribose of one nucleotide is linked to the 5′ carbon of the next via a phosphodiester bond. The 5′ end on the left and the 3′ end on the right.
