Abstract

Computer analysis was performed to check for correlation between the contextual characteristics of mRNA 5′-terminal regions with the translation initiation site and the N-terminal amino acid sequences in proteins of eukaryotic organisms belonging to various taxa; these results may be significant for the function of translation initiation signal.
