16S rRNA is found within the 30S rRNA sub-unit of ribosomes. 16S rRNA


During Translation of protein synthesis, the initiator region of mRNA binds very near the 3' end of the 16S rRNA as the 16S rRNA contains a ribosomal binding site, known as the Shine Dalgarno sequence. The number of base pairs linking mRNA and 16S rRNA ranges from three to nine.
