Bacterial 23S Ribosomal RNA (23S rRNA)

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

Overview

Bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a major structural and functional component of the large (50S) subunit of the prokaryotic ribosome. It is essential for catalyzing peptide bond formation and serves as a primary target for several classes of antibiotics.
