|July 1, 1981
Abstract:
Structural aspects of ribosomal recognition of initiation sites on messenger RNA in procaryotes are considered. Location of initiation sites on mRNA, their length, typical nucleotide sequences that build up the initiation signal, and also the influence of the macrostructure of mRNA on protein synthesis are discussed. Determined nucleotide sequences of mRNA and DNA flanking the origin of different phage and bacterial genes are given.
