Protein biosynthesis is the final step in the transfer of genetic information in the cell.
In turn, its last step is the release of a nascent polypeptide from the ribosome. After the synthesis is completed, the polypeptide chain is folded either cotranslationally or by an additional specialized mechanism, depending on the nature of the protein, organism, and other factors. Yeast termination factors with prion-like properties are also considered. All rights reserved.
