Question

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For the formation of initiation complex during translation of mRNA, GTP is also required. The initiator AUG codes for the formyl methionine in prokaryotes.
