For-Met-OH
N-Formyl-L-methionine (fMet) serves as the specialized initiator amino acid in bacterial and mitochondrial protein synthesis, delivered by fMet-tRNA. This small molecule is essential for studying prokaryotic and organellar translation initiation mechanisms in both in vitro reconstituted systems and in vivo cellular research.
