Summary Introduction

To review:

The steps of the elongation process in eukaryotic translation.

Introduction:

Translation is the process of protein synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The process of translation is divided into initiation, elongation, and termination. Elongation is a cyclic process in which nascent peptide is added with one amino acid at a time. The sequence of the peptide is determined by the order of codons in messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA). This phase oftranslationrequires several elongation factors(eEFs).
