Summary Introduction

To determine:  The reason that it is essential to purify individual subunits of RNase P to show that it is a ribozyme.

Introduction: RNase P acts as a catalyst during the processing of transfer RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) molecules. A ribozyme may be defined as a ribonucleic acid enzyme which plays an important role in catalyzation of a chemical reaction. These ribozymes are found to be present in ribosomes where they perform a vital function of joining of amino acids to form protein chains.
