reinitación
- After the first round of protein synthesis, reinitiation can occur on the same mRNA strand.
Examples
-
The reinitiation of protein synthesis is crucial for cell growth.
-
The scientist studied reinitiation of translation in the presence of specific regulatory proteins.
-
Understanding reinitiation is important for developing new treatments in molecular biology.
-
During the experiment, reinitiation occurred after the pause.
-
The process of reinitiation ensures that protein production resumes efficiently on the same mRNA after translation.
-
Researchers observed that reinitiation allows ribosomes to restart translation effectively without needing new mRNA strands.
-
In cell biology, the reinitiation of protein synthesis is a critical mechanism for maintaining cellular functions.

Morphology
reinitiation = initiation (semi-transparent) = re + initiation
Morphologically it's 're-' + 'initiation' (starting again), but the specific ribosomal/process sense is technical and not fully inferable to general learners.
Etymology
Reinitiation also comes from re- 'again' and initiation 'start', just like restart. In biology it describes a ribosome, the cell machine that makes proteins, 'starting again' on the same mRNA strand, so the word means 'starting protein production again'.
