RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a crucial molecule that helps translate genetic information into proteins.

They also used microwave-assisted acid digestion to simulate how chemicals might be released when toys come into contact with a child's saliva.

One of its main roles is to interact with the nucleic acids in the genome, helping regulate which genes are switched on and how they are translated into proteins.
