Ribonucleoprotein complexes

Ribonucleoprotein complexes are assemblies made of RNA molecules and protein components that work together to perform essential biological functions. These complexes are involved in processes like gene expression, regulation, and the maintenance of cellular activities. Examples include ribosomes, which build proteins, and spliceosomes, which help process RNA transcripts. By combining proteins and RNA, these complexes enable cells to efficiently carry out complex tasks, ensuring proper growth, development, and response to their environment. Their coordinated structure allows for precise control and execution of vital cellular processes.
