Thename of the aminoacyl-tRNA is usually abbre-viated to fMet-tRNA f .The initiator tRNA gains its modified aminoacid in a two-stage reaction. First, it is chargedwith the amino acid to generate Met-tRNA f ;and then the formylation reaction shown in FIGURE 8.12 blocks the free NH 2 group.
Here's how this might work with multiplication facts. You can make a multiplication table. Since 1 times any number is just that number, we can leave the 1's off. Multiplying a number on the left by a number on the top gives you the number (product) where the row (across) meets the column (down).
The number two has many properties in mathematics. An integer is called even if it is divisible by 2. For integers written in a numeral system based on an even number, such as decimal and hexadecimal, divisibility by 2 is easily tested by merely looking at the last digit. If it is even, then the whole number is even. In particular, when written in the decimal system, all multiples of 2 will end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
