Ribonucleoprotein (RNP)'s a nucleoprotein that contains RNA, for example it's an association that combines ribonucleic acid and protein together. A few examples are known like the ribosome, the enzyme telomerase and small nuclear RNPs (snRNPs) which are implicated in pre-mRNA splicing and are among the main components of the nucleolus. RNP in snRNPs has an RNA-binding motif in its RNA-binding protein. Aromatic amino acid residues in this motif result in stacking interactions with RNA. Lysine res… (
