Ribosomes have two subunits (large and small) that are composed of proteins and rRNA. The small subunits binds to the mRNA followed by the large subunit which sandwiches the mRNA. The tRNA (contains the anticodon and associated amino acid) binds to the complementary mRNA. A second tRNA arrives for the next codon and, via dehydration synthesis, a peptide bond is formed between amino acids, which releases the first tRNA from the mRNA and allows the next tRNA to bind. This process continues until the stop codon is reached.
