Stages of Translation
Initiation

Termination
The elongation process continues until a “stop” codon is reached

Protein folding
|
Amino acids can be divided into categories based on their R groups. As a result they can be hydrophobic, hydrophilic and a few can be positive or negative.

Polysome & Free Ribosomes
Free vs Bound Ribosomes (Eukaryote)Free Ribosomes
|
Polysomes (Prokaryote)Due to the fact that the DNA and the cytosol have no separation in a prokaryote
