During elongation of translation, tRNAs bring amino acids into the ribosome to add to the protein being synthesized.

The steps of translation are shared between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The steps of translation are:

1. Initiation
2. Elongation
3. Termination

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Initiation of translation involves forming the initiation complex to begin translation and the first amino acid is brought in via tRNA. 

Initiation of Translation

Elongation of Translation

When a stop codon is reached, translation terminates. The new protein is released and the ribosome dissociates.
