RNA does not have amino and carboxy termini like proteins, only 5 and 3 termini like DNA. While RNA can form secondary, tertiary, and even quaternary structures, it is not as elaborate as the structures formed by proteins. Additionally, RNA can catalyze reactions, but it is not as efficient as proteins in this regard.
