An RNA strand can undergo significant intramolecular base pairing to take on a three-dimensional structure. There are three main types of RNA, all involved in protein synthesis. Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the intermediary between DNA and the synthesis of protein products during translation.

The stereochemistry of these sugars is represented using Fischer projections, with D and L configurations indicating the orientation of the hydroxyl group on the chiral carbon furthest from the aldehyde. Understanding these configurations helps in studying the structural and functional properties of carbohydrates.

Ribose is used in RNA and deoxyribose is used in DNA. The deoxy- designation refers to the lack of an alcohol, -OH, group as will be shown in detail further down. Ribose and deoxyribose are classified as monosaccharides, aldoses, pentoses, and are reducing sugars.
