The main role of [[tRNA]], or transfer RNA is to carry an amino acid to the mRNA (while the mRNA is in the ribosome) during translation of the mRNA into a protein.

The main role of [[rRNA]] or ribosomal RNA is to form the ribosome.  RNA that has catalytic properties (such as the ribosome) is referred to as a ribozyme.

Purification of RNA is problematic as enzymes that degrade RNA ([[RNases]]) are ubiquitous.  Successful RNA purification depends on degradation of the DNA template used via DNase and avoidance of RNase using sterile technique.
