| 57 | +== What's in the name? |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +RNP is widely recognized in the biological sciences as an acronym for |
| 60 | +"ribonucleoprotein." |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +The name was selected due to its strong association with the company name, |
| 63 | +Ribose, which refers to a type of sugar, and its significance to life on Earth. |
| 64 | +The human ribosome, a molecular machine that translates RNA into proteins, |
| 65 | +consists of two ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles. The RNP logo itself |
| 66 | +represents an abstract structure of the ribosome. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Although the acronym RNP was not intended to be back-fitted with specific words, |
| 69 | +it originated from "R" representing Ribose and "P" for OpenPGP, aligning it with |
| 70 | +the biological acronym "RNP." |
