Protein Synthesis Stages
22) Translation Elongation: The nascent polypeptide chain is extended by the covalent bonding of successive amino acid units. Each amino acid is carried to the ribosome by its tRNA, which is positioned correctly to match the corresponding codon in mRNA. Elongation requires cytosolic proteins called elongation factors, and the binding is powered by the hydrolysis of GTP.
23) Termination and Release: Polypeptide chain termination is signaled by a stop codon in the mRNA. The
