AUG:
- AUG is the codon known as start codon or initiation codon.
- AUG codon undergoes translation in the transcribed mRNA.
- The amino acid methionine and formyl methionine are coded AUG.
- During protein synthesis, AUG is the start codon.
Thus, AUG codes for amino acids methionine and formyl methionine in eukaryotes.
