Abstract excerpt
Formation of the initiation translation complex containing the three initiation factors, IF1, IF2, and IF3, tRNA(fMet), and GTP constitutes the earliest event in the protein synthesis. IF2, a GTP-binding protein, is the principal factor involved in selecting and binding fMet-tRNA(fMet) to the 30 S ribosomal subunit. Although some chloroplast initiation translational factors have been identified and purified from...
