GO term: translational initiation Help



Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0006413)

Definition: The process preceding formation of the peptide bond between the first two amino acids of a protein. This includes the formation of a complex of the ribosome, mRNA, and an initiation complex that contains the first aminoacyl-tRNA.

Synonyms: biopolymerisation; biopolymerization; protein synthesis initiation; translation initiation
