Question
Write the sequence of an ideal eukaryotic translation initiation site. Aside from the AUG, what are the most important positions?
Step 1
The ideal eukaryotic translation initiation site begins with the start codon, which is AUG. This codon codes for the amino acid methionine and is essential for the initiation of translation. Show more…

During the initiation step of translation, the first codon "AUG" will enter the ribosome.
Which ANTICODON is involved in the initiation of translation? Hint: the codon chart will come in handy: Second base of RNA codon UUU UCU UAU UGU Phe Tyr Cys UUC UCC UAC UGC Ser UUA UCA UAA UGA Stop Leu UUG UCG UAG UGG Trp CUU CCU CAU CGU His CUC CCC CAC CGC Leu Pro Arg CUA CCA CAA CGA Gln CUG CCG CAG CGG Ile AUU ACU AAU AGU Asn Ser AUC ACC AAC AGC Thr AUA ACA AAA AGA Lys Arg AUG Met ACG AAG AGG start GUU GCU GAU GGU Asp GUC GCC GAC GGC Val Ala Gly GUA GCA GAA GGA Glu GUG GCG GAG GGG AUG UAA UAC TAC
Bacterial messenger RNAs usually contain many AUG codons. How does the ribosome identify the AUG specifying initiation?
