Are you saying that ribosomes are not made out of proteins?

If they are made of proteins, where are those proteins constructed - inside ribosomes, or someplace else?

“Are you saying that ribosomes are not made out of proteins?”

No. Not sure why you would think that.

I’m saying ribosomal proteins are not the catalytic component of a ribosome.

rRNA carries out the peptidyl transferase activity and that the ribosomal proteins are not necessary for the reaction.

I’m pointing out there is not a chicken and egg problem.
