Initiation factor

Initiation factors are proteins that bind to the small subunit of the ribosome during the initiation of protein synthesis.

They are divided into two major groups:

v • d • e Protein biosynthesis: translation (prokaryotic, eukaryotic)
Ribosomal proteins	Initiation factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Elongation factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Release factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Ribosomal protein s6
Other concepts	Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase - Reading frame - Start codon - Shine-Dalgarno sequence/Kozak consensus sequence
