The start codon is AUG, or Methionine(Met)
The triplet codon AUG; with, unlike many others, no exceptions.
AUG. Methionine is the first and start codon in forming polypeptides.
3' UAC 5'
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
A start codon (there's only one) is the sequence of three bases on mRNA that initiates translation of mRNA into protein. The start codon sequence is AUG (anticodon UAC) which also carries the amino acid methionine.
"AUG" actually corresponds to a region of code on mRNA and is NOT an amino acid. The tRNA that has the anticodon 5' CAU 3' and recognizes AUG is a tRNA charged with Methionine. Therefore, methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a growing polypeptide. Note this is true for only eukaryotes, prokaryotes have N-formyl methionine as their first amino acid.
The start codon is AUG, or Methionine(Met)
The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
AUG-Methionine
Methionine, made from the codon AUG.
The triplet codon AUG; with, unlike many others, no exceptions.
3 *** if u want more explanation. basically it is called translation. tRNA decodes the message. If mRNA is AUG, tRNA will attach an anitcodon. Since there is no T in RNA then for A it will be U. For U it will be A and then G will base pair with C. So you will have an anticodon of UAC - which will bring in the amino acid methionine.
Only one mRNA codon codes for Methionine - AUG.
AUG. Methionine is the first and start codon in forming polypeptides.
3' UAC 5'
No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
