The Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence is a ribosomal binding site in prokaryotic mRNA, generally located around 8 bases upstream of the start codon AUG. The RNA sequence helps recruit the ribosome to the mRNA to initiate protein synthesis by aligning the ribosome with the start codon. The Shine-Dalgarno sequence exists both in bacteria and archaea. It ...
