Protein Translation and Ribosome Function — Core Concepts
During prokaryotic initiation of translation, what is the correct order of early events?
Large subunit attaches → small subunit attaches → initiator tRNA binds P site
Small subunit attaches to mRNA → initiator tRNA binds P site → large subunit joins
Initiator tRNA binds A site → small subunit attaches → large subunit joins
mRNA exits ribosome → small subunit binds → initiator tRNA binds E site
