In my recollection it was Marilyn Kozak who did a lot of research on
translation of mRNA (especially the AUG starts). I reckon that if you
start with one of her papers, you'll be soon on the right track.
try:
PNAS 92, 1995, 2662-2666
PNAS 92, 1995, 7134 (a correction)
Biochimie 76, 1994, 81-821 (ISSN 0300-9084)
Ann rev cell biol. 8, 1992, 197-226 (not recent but alas)
Lots of success
