1. start codon; initiation codon
Wikipedia definition
2. Start codonThe start codon is generally defined as the point, sequence, at which a ribosome begins to translate a sequence of RNA into amino acids. When an RNA transcript is "read" from the 5' nucleotide to the 3' nucleotide by the ribosome the start codon (AUG) is the first codon on which the tRNA bound to Met, methionine, and ribosomal subunits attach.
