Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of RNA that is a fundamental component of ribosomes, which are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA plays a crucial role in translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins by facilitating the binding of transfer RNA (tRNA) and catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, thus linking it to the larger framework of nucleic acids and proteins in living organisms.
congrats on reading the definition of rRNA. now let's actually learn it.
