They discovered a significant decrease in two types of tRNA: the initiator methionine tRNA, essential for starting protein synthesis, and a specific glutamine tRNA. This reduction resulted in ...

Consequently, methionine is the first amino acid to dock in the ribosome during the synthesis of proteins. Tryptophan is unique because it is the only amino acid specified by a single codon.

Building on my longtime research on S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent protein methylation, I have designed a curriculum in which students analyze the evolutionary conservation of enzymes ...

Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins ... molecule carrying the amino acid methionine binds to what is called the start codon ...
