Evolution Of The Unnecessary : Investigating How fMet Became Central In Bacterial Translation Initiation
All bacteria initiate translation using formylated methionine, yet directly after translation, the formyl-group is removed. This sequence of addition and removal appears futile, yet every sequenced bacterial genome encodes the enzymes for formylation and deformylation, suggesting this process is ess...
