Abstract
A unique feature of eukaryote initiation of protein translation is a so-called scanning of 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) by a ribosome initiation complex to enable bound Met-tRNAi access to the initiation codon located further downstream. Here, we propose a universal scanning-free translation initiation model that is independent of 5'-UTR length and applicable to both 5'-m7G (capped) and uncapped mRNAs.

期刊介绍:
BioMolecular Concepts is a peer-reviewed open access journal fostering the integration of different fields of biomolecular research. The journal aims to provide expert summaries from prominent researchers, and conclusive extensions of research data leading to new and original, testable hypotheses. Aspects of research that can promote related fields, and lead to novel insight into biological mechanisms or potential medical applications are of special interest. Original research articles reporting new data of broad significance are also welcome. Topics: -cellular and molecular biology- genetics and epigenetics- biochemistry- structural biology- neurosciences- developmental biology- molecular medicine- pharmacology- microbiology- plant biology and biotechnology.
