Slide 12 of 62
Notes:
A closer look at the anatomy of the ribosomal P and A sites. The tRNA path is shown by the arrows. The E site is transiently occupied by the tRNA after the peptide chain is transferred to the next tRNA. Termination occurs when the codon is recognized by a release factor instead of a tRNA--they resemble tRNA in structure, but they are protein factors.
