Start codon. The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes and a modified Met (fMet) in prokaryotes. The most common start codon is AUG.
Codons. Codon. (Science: molecular biology) The coding unit of dna that specifies the function of the corresponding messenger rna. a triplet of bases recognised by anticodons on transfer rna and hence specifying an amino acid to be incorporated into a protein sequence. The code is degenerate, i.e. Each amino acid has more than one codon. The stop codon determines the end of a polypeptide.
