Question:

Translation Initiation

Author: AMRIT KAUR



Answer:

- The initiation of translation starts when the small ribosomal subunit binds with mRNA and a special initiator tRNA​ - The initiator tRNA carries the amino acid methionine​ - Then the small subunit moves along the mRNA until it reaches the start codon (AUG)​ - Proteins called initiation factors bring in the large subunit that completes the translation initiation complex​
