riboNucleoproteins are protein+RNA. The Ribo means it is RNA and not DNA (deoxyribo) nucleotides. Nucleotides (RNA or DNA) can hold onto proteins and subsequently react with substrates or attach to other macromolecules such as proteins. Some proteins will not work without nucleotides attached.

Ribosomal proteins, on the other hand, are proteins that work with ribosomes. There are about 79 proteins that interact with ribosomes.
