Description

n-Formylmethionylvaline (fMet-Val) is a dipeptide that serves as the initiating amino acid in protein synthesis in bacteria and some organelles. It is synthesized by the enzymatic formylation of methionine, which is then incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain at the start of translation. fMet-Val is essential for the correct initiation of protein synthesis and plays a crucial role in the recognition of the start codon AUG. Research on fMet-Val focuses on its role in bacterial protein synthesis, its potential as a target for antimicrobial drugs, and its involvement in various cellular processes. For example, fMet-Val is recognized by specific receptors on the surface of immune cells, leading to the activation of immune responses. Studying fMet-Val contributes to understanding the mechanism of protein synthesis, the development of new antibiotics, and the regulation of immune responses.'
