Pursuing RNA for more than 50 years -- The dawn of molecular biology: history of macromolecules before RNA -- RNA connects genes and proteins: ribosomes, tRNA, and messenger RNA -- After mRNA: the genetic code, translation, and the biochemistry of controlled RNA synthesis in bacteria -- Gene expression in mammalian cells: discovery of RNA processing, genes in pieces, and new RNA chemistry -- Controlling mRNA: the cell's most complicated task -- RNA and the beginning of life.
Provides an account of RNA research, showing how scientists unraveled fundamental questions about the biochemical and genetic importance of RNA, how mRNAs are generated and used to produce proteins, how noncoding and catalytic RNAs mediate key cellular processes, and how RNA molecules likely initiated life on Earth.
