Initiation
Ribosome binds to mRNA at the start codon AUG, and the initiator tRNA becomes attached to the amino acid methionine and pairs with the start codon on the mRNA
Elongation
Ribosome reads mRNA codons, matches them with complementary tRNA anticodons, and links amino acids together to form a growing polypeptide chain
Termination
Ribosome encounters a stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) on the mRNA, release factors bind to the ribosome, and the completed protein is released.
FINAl
The protein forms into a unique shape of its own
