LSU rRNA
open-in-new
<p>Large subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (LSU rRNA) is the largest of the two major <a href="/facts/RNA/HxPeNfNj">RNA</a> components of the <a href="/facts/Ribosome/CF2u2gtg">ribosome</a>. Associated with a number of <a href="/facts/Ribosomal_protein/73JJEmgN">ribosomal proteins</a>, the LSU rRNA forms the large subunit of the ribosome. The LSU rRNA acts as a <a href="/facts/Ribozyme/yvcl3ygp">ribozyme</a>, catalyzing <a href="/facts/Peptidyl_transferase/uK1vQUuv">peptide bond formation</a>. </p>
