AUG is the most common START codon and it codes for the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and formyl methionine (fMet) in prokaryotes. During protein synthesis, the tRNA recognizes the ...

Importantly, as activation of the basophil with N-formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP) does not act via FcεRI cross-linking, fMLP can therefore not be used to control whether the ...
