Concept 13: Termination of Translation
At a stop codon, a release factor reads the triplet, and polypeptide synthesis ends; the polypeptide is released from the tRNA, the tRNA is released from the ribosome, and the two ribosomal subunits separate from the mRNA.
Polypeptide synthesis repeats until a stop codon is reached.
