1
New cards

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

2
New cards

Elongation

Ribosome reads mRNA codons, matches them with complementary tRNA anticodons, and links amino acids together to form a growing polypeptide chain

3
New cards

Termination

Ribosome encounters a stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) on the mRNA, release factors bind to the ribosome, and the completed protein is released.
