Which mRNA condon usually signals the beginning of protein synthesis?

Methionine is always the first amino acid in a protein, therefore the codon for Met would signal the beginning of protein synthesis. This codon is AUG.

∙ 12y agoThe start codon in mRNA translation is typically AUG, which signals the beginning of the synthesis of the protein chain.
The AUG codon represents methionine. Two types of transfer-Rnas can carry this amino acid, one is used for Initiation while the other may only recognize 'internal AUG codons', those used in elongation.

(DKK Edit:)
AUG is the start cod on (methionine)

What are inducible and non inducible enzymes?
Inducible: usually off for protein synthesis but can be turned on Non inducible, or REPRESSIBLE : usually on for protein synthesis but can be turned off Inducible: usually off for protein synthesis but can be turned on Non inducible, or REPRESSIBLE : usually on for protein synthesis but can be turned off
The sequence of events in the process of protein synthesis is usually?
DNA to RNA to protein
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
Synthesis of a protein stops when?
it stops when an amino acid is missing from the diet
Which mRNA condon usually signals the beginning of protien synthesis?
AUG or methionine

The sequence of events in the process of protein synthesis is usually?
DNA to RNA to protein
Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
What amino acid is usually the first one inserted into a protein during protein synthesis?
A protein is a topic that is vital, and that requires professional tending to regarding

What happens during translation and where does it occur?
Usually on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
If one of the nitrogen bases were replaced by a different base what effect might that have on protein synthesis?
It depends. Because many amino acids have more than one codon, it may not affect the protein at all. However, if it does change the amino acid sequence, it could cause a change in the three-dimensional structure of the protein, resulting in a mutation.
What is the name of the process of building up large proteins in a cell?
Protein synthesis requires two steps: transcription and translationMessenger RNA (mRNA) a copy of a portion of the DNA. It carries genetic information from the gene (DNA) out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm of the cell where it is translated to produce protein. Proteins are created by ribosomes translating mRNA into polypeptide chains. These polypeptide chains undergo PTM (Posttranslational modification) to give the mature protein.
