The name assigned to AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine, is the "start codon." It serves as the initiation signal for protein synthesis in ribosomes, marking the beginning of translation. Methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a nascent polypeptide chain during this process.
The anticodon for methionine is UAC. It pairs with the methionine codon AUG during protein synthesis.
The genetic code for methionine is AUG. Methionine is commonly used as the start codon in protein synthesis.
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
METHIONINE
The start codon is AUG, or Methionine(Met)
The anticodon for methionine is UAC. It pairs with the methionine codon AUG during protein synthesis.
The genetic code for methionine is AUG. Methionine is commonly used as the start codon in protein synthesis.
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
METHIONINE
AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine
AUG-Methionine
AUG, or methionine.
The start codon is AUG, or Methionine(Met)
Only one mRNA codon codes for Methionine - AUG.
Methionine, made from the codon AUG.
"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.
AUG is an example of a start codon. It codes for methionine. Methionine is ALWAYS the first amino acid in a protein
