Question

During translation initiation in prokaryotes, a GTP molecule is needed in (A) association of 30S, mRNA with formyl-met-tRNA (B) association of 50S subunit of ribosome with initiation complex (C) formation of formyl-met-tRNA (D) binding of 30 subunit of ribosome with mRNA

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

During the process of translation an initial complex is formed between mRNA, 30 S ribosomal subunit and methionyl t RNA. This complex is formed due to association of IF 1, IF 2, IF 3 initiation factors and GTP molecule.

Q. During translation initiation in prokaryotes, a $GTP$ molecule is needed in

association of 30S, mRNA with formyl-met-tRNA

association of 50S subunit of ribosome with initiation complex

formation of formyl-met-tRNA

binding of 30 subunit of ribosome with mRNA

During the process of translation an initial complex is formed between mRNA, $30 S$ ribosomal subunit and methionyl $t$ RNA. This complex is formed due to association of $I F_{1}, I F_{2}, I F_{3}$ initiation factors and GTP molecule.
