Translation involves mRNA binding to ribosomes, followed by tRNA with complementary anticodons bringing corresponding amino acids, forming peptide bonds between them as the ribosome moves along the mRNA until a stop codon is reached.

| Front | Translation 2.1.3(g) |
|---|---|
| Back | - mRNA binds to small subunit at start codon - tRNA with complementary anticodon binds to it as it carries its corresponding AA - next codon binds to anticodon (max of 2 tRNA at one time) - first AA transferred to second AA via peptide bond - ribosome moves along mRNA, releasing first tRNA 3-5 repeated until stop codon, where protein released |
