Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.256Å Ligands: GOL, MET, MOE, TRS Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function FMT_YERPE Modifies the free amino group of the aminoacyl moiety of methionyl-tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by: (I) promoting its recognition by IF2 and (II) impairing its binding to EFTu-GTP (By similarity).
