In turn, proteins account for more mass than any other component of living organisms (with the exception of water), and proteins perform a wide variety of the functions of a cell. The process of translation, or protein synthesis, involves decoding an mRNA message into a polypeptide product. Amino acids are covalently strung together in lengths ranging from approximately 50 amino acids to more than 1,000.

It highlights their role in RNA processing, particularly in tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, often through self-splicing. Key examples include ribonuclease P and Group I and II introns. Additionally, it touches on spliceosomes and viroids, noting that viroids can infect plants and exhibit self-splicing capabilities similar to ribozymes.

A ribonucleotide is composed of 3 parts: a molecule of the sugar ribose, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. RNA differs from DNA in several ways: RNA is single-stranded, not double-stranded; unlike DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases are able to join RNA nucleotides together without requiring a preexisting strand of RNA; RNA has the base uracil in place of thymine.
