Title: How does the stop codon stop translation?
Post by: bio_man on Sep 2, 2019
The stop codon is simply a codon that has no matching tRNA, so the ribosome stalls, waiting for the next aminoacyl tRNA. This stall causes the ribosome to destabilize, and release factors come in to disassemble the ribosome and cut free the peptide strand.
