Which of the following statements about initiation of translation in bacteria is FALSE?

Which of the following statements about initiation of translation in bacteria is FALSE?

fMet-tRNAfMet is the only charged tRNA that can bind to the 30S subunit on its own.
The complete 70S initiation complex ready to receive a second charged tRNA is assembled without any GTP hydrolysis.
The formyl group is transferred to Met-tRNAfMet from 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate.
Three initiation factor proteins are required to bind the mRNA and the initiator tRNA to the 30S ribosome.
Pairing between mRNA and rRNA places the initiation codon next to the P site in the ribosome.

Explanation / Answer

The following statement is false

The complete 70S initiation complex ready to receive a second charged tRNA is assembled without any GTP hydrolysis.

IF2-GTP is hydrolysed to IF2-GDP before the large subunit joins the small subunit and dissacoiating the IFS
