| Term Name: | mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA aminoacylation |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | The process of coupling methionine to methionyl-tRNA in a mitochondrion, catalyzed by methionyl-tRNA synthetase. In tRNA aminoacylation, the amino acid is first activated by linkage to AMP and then transferred to either the 2'- or the 3'-hydroxyl group of the 3'-adenosine residue of the tRNA. |
