Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GTP is involved in the formation of the pre-initiation complex during translation initiation. The pre-initiation complex consists of the small ribosomal subunit, mRNA, initiator tRNA loaded with methionine, and initiation factors. GTP is required for the formation of the pre-initiation complex by facilitating the binding of the initiator tRNA and small ribosomal subunit to the mRNA.
