La plupart des ARN cellulaires [...] sont présents sous forme simple brin dans la cellule, contrairement à l'ADN qui est sous forme d'un double brin apparié. Les ARN simple brin se replient le plus souvent sur eux-mêmes, formant une structure intramoléculaire qui peut être très stable et très compacte. La base de cette structure est la formation d'appariements internes, entre bases complémentaires (A avec U, G avec C et, parfois, G avec U). La description des appariements internes entre les bases d'un ARN s'appelle la structure secondaire. Cette structure secondaire peut être complétée par des interactions à longue distance qui définissent alors une structure tridimensionnelle ou structure tertiaire. 4, record 1, French, - ARN%20simple%20brin
