Ribosomal proteins are involved in multiple functions, including:
Ribosome Assembly: They assist in the correct assembly of ribosomal RNA and proteins into functional ribosomal subunits. mRNA Binding: Some ribosomal proteins help in binding messenger RNA (mRNA) to the ribosome for translation. tRNA Binding: They also facilitate the binding of transfer RNA (tRNA) during protein synthesis. Structural Stability: Ribosomal proteins contribute to the structural integrity and stability of the ribosome.
