RNA Structure and Function

ASBMB Learning Objectives (https://www.asbmb.org/education/core-concept-teaching-strategies/foundational-concepts/structure-function) 2. Structure is determined by several factors Students should be able to recognize the repeating units in biological macromolecules and be able to discuss the structural impacts of the covalent and noncovalent interactions involved (Introductory). Students should be able to discuss the chemical and physical relationships between composition and structure of macromolecules (Introductory). Students should be able to compare and contrast the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins and nucleic acids (Intermediate). 3. Structure and function are related Students should be able to use mechanistic reasoning to explain how an enzyme or ribozyme catalyzes a particular reaction (Introductory).
