Ribozymes A are any ribonucleoprotein particles B are enzyme

Ribozymes:

A. are any ribonucleoprotein particles.

B. are enzymes whose catalytic function resides in RNA subunits.

C. carry out self-processing reactions but cannot be considered true catalysts.

D. require a protein cofactor to form a peptide bond.

E. function only in the processing of mRNA.

Solution

Ribozymes

B. are enzymes whose catalytic function resides on RNA subunits.

They are ribonucleic acid enzymes. They are responsible for catalyzing specific biochemical reactions. They participate in various RNA processing reactions.
