Bacterial Ribosome 50S Subunit 23S rRNA (23S rRNA)

Target
23S rRNA
Molecular classification
Ribosomal RNA, RNA, Non-coding RNA
01

Overview

The 23S rRNA is a critical component of the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit and essential for protein synthesis. It forms the structural and functional core of the subunit, catalyzing peptide bond formation at the peptidyl transferase center. Many antibiotics target this region, and resistance often arises from mutations or modifications within the 23S rRNA.
