The start codon is typically the codon AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine. It serves as the initiation signal for protein synthesis, marking the site where ribosomes begin translating mRNA into a polypeptide chain. In eukaryotic cells, the presence of AUG signals the start of translation and the assembly of the ribosome at the mRNA.
