Nov 27, 2018 at 16:19 comment added user38945 @Konrad Rudolph Indeed, as mRNA is always bound to RBPs (RNA binding proteins in vivo), many scientists consider that saying messenger RNP (ribonucleotide particle) is more precise. Isolating protein-free RNA in vitro is actually very hard.

Oct 24, 2016 at 18:02 comment added WYSIWYG Yes @KonradRudolph is right. Approximately 60% of a eukaryotic mRNA is expected to be bound by protein biology.stackexchange.com/a/21898/3340.

Oct 24, 2016 at 14:54 comment added Konrad Rudolph The premise of this question, that mRNA "(mostly) floats freely", is false. I don't have specific references (hence a comment, not an answer) but recent research on RNA interactions shows that mRNA is in fact rarely unbound. Under physiological conditions it's almost universally in a complex with proteins or (other) RNAs.
