Explain the role of initiator tRNA in initiation of protein synthesis.

Answer»

The initiator tRNA, which is charged with amino acid methionine, reaches the smaller subunit of ribosome. Its anticodon UAC recognises the codon AUG on mRNA and binds by forming complementary base pairs. The large subunit of ribosome joins the smaller subunit and initiates translation.
