Initiation of protein biosynthesis in prokaryotes

Description
The ribosome contains three tRNA binding sites, shown here as E, P, and A; these are called the exit, peptidyltRNA, and aminoacyl-tRNA binding sites, respectively.

The initiator AUG codon is positioned so that fMet-tRNA binds in the P site.
