RNA complexes are assemblies of RNA molecules with proteins or other molecules that facilitate various biological processes. These complexes are essential for the proper functioning of cells and tissues. Key RNA types involved in these complexes include:
mRNA (messenger RNA): Encodes genetic information from DNA and serves as a template for protein synthesis. tRNA (transfer RNA): Transports amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis. rRNA (ribosomal RNA): Forms the core of ribosomes and catalyzes protein synthesis. Non-coding RNAs: Includes microRNAs, siRNAs, and lncRNAs, which regulate gene expression and other cellular processes.
