Peptide Chain Termination, Translational

Chain Termination, Peptide, Translational; Protein Chain Termination, Translational; Translational Peptide Chain Termination
A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the last amino acid is added to a lengthening polypeptide. This termination is signaled from the MESSENGER RNA, by one of three termination codons (CODON, TERMINATOR) that immediately follows the last amino acid-specifying CODON.
