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.

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However, in ...

The base pairing between the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the 16S rRNA helps position the ribosome correctly on the mRNA, ensuring accurate translation initiation. Eukaryotes, on the other hand ...
