Here's how anticodons facilitate the translation process: The specificity of the anticodon-codon interaction ensures that the correct amino acid is incorporated into the polypeptide chain, maintaining ...

This preinitiation complex and a methionine-carrying tRNA then bind to the mRNA, near the AUG start codon, forming the initiation complex. Table 1 shows the N-terminal sequences of proteins in ...

This degeneracy provides a layer of protection against mutations, as some mutations in the third nucleotide of a codon may not change the amino acid that is specified. Protein synthesis begins with a ...
