Title: Aside from mRNA, which RNAs are involved in protein synthesis and what are their functions? Post by: daveed12 on Sep 14, 2012 1.tRNA - molecules that transports amino acids to ribosomes for incorporation into a polypeptide undergoing synthesis.
2.rRNA - is the RNA component of the ribosome = the site of protein synthesis in all living cells. Ribosomal RNA provides a mechanism for decoding mRNA into amino acids and interacts with tRNAs during translation by providing peptidyl transferase activity. Translation process summarised in link. |
