The start codon is typically AUG, which stands for methionine, and signals the beginning of that particular protein synthesis ...

How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

We find that these inhibitors slow elongating ribosomes, thereby inducing a queue of pre-initiation complexes that can become positioned over and initiate from an otherwise poorly recognized start ...
