Toeprinting assay is a molecular biology technique used to study the process of translation initiation in messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. It helps researchers identify the specific binding sites and interactions between ribosomes and mRNA during the translation process. The basic principle of the toeprinting assay involves the use of reverse transcription.
