The PTC is highly conserved across all domains of life, highlighting the fundamental role of rRNA in the process of translation. rRNA plays a critical role in the assembly and maturation of ribosomes.

Ribosomes are complexes of rRNA molecules and proteins, and they can be observed in electron micrographs of cells. Sometimes, ribosomes are visible as clusters, called polyribosomes. In eukaryotes ...

Translation Begins After the Assembly of a ... indicates that the transferase activity is a catalytic function of rRNA (Pierce, 2000). After the peptide bond is formed, the ribosome shifts ...
