PROKARYOTIC TRANSLATION - THE INTERACTIVE PATHWAY LEADING TO INITIATION

Finding answers to the many open questions concerning the mechanism an d control of prokaryotic translation remains one of the central challe nges of molecular biology. In fact, recent experimental data even forc e us to reconsider aspects that were previously thought to be establis hed fact. Here, we attempt a synthesis of new and not-so-new informati on, which leads to a revised and testable working hypothesis for trans lational initiation.
