- Ribosomes are made up of both proteins and RNA
- These two components combine to form two subunits – a large subunit and a small subunit – which together make a functional ribosome.
- Ribosomal RNA plays a crucial role in the ribosome's structure and function.
- It helps in catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds, acting as a ribozyme, which is essential for protein synthesis.
- Ribosomal proteins provide structural support and aid in the proper folding of rRNA.
- They also assist in assembling the ribosomal subunits and facilitating their interaction with messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) during protein synthesis.
- Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
