holds the tRNA bringing the next amino acid to be added to the chain

150
Q

releases the tRNA molecules back into the cytoplasm

A

E (exit) site,

151
Q

E (exit) site,

A

releases the tRNA molecules back into the cytoplasm

152
Q

Translocation of the ribosome exposes a stop codon in
the A site. Stop codons do not code for an amino acid,
there are no corresponding tRNAs

A

Termination of Protein Synthesis

153
Q

A protein called a release factor binds to the exposed A
site causing the polypeptide to separate from the
remaining tRNA molecule

A

Termination of Protein Synthesis

154
Q

Ribosome falls of the mRNA and translation stops.
