MeSH Heading: Peptide Chain Termination, Translational
Tree Number(s): G02.111.660.871.720; G03.734.871.720
Unique ID: D010443
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010443
Annotation: coordinate with specific peptide; for protein biosynthesis on the ribosome only; for non-ribosomal biosynthesis use PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NUCLEIC ACID-INDEPENDENT
Scope Note: A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the terminal amino acid is added to a lengthening polypeptide. This termination process is signaled from the MESSENGER RNA, by one of three termination codons (CODON, TERMINATOR) that immediately follows the last amino acid-specifying CODON.
Entry Term(s): Chain Termination, Peptide, Translational; Protein Biosynthesis Termination; Protein Chain Termination, Translational; Protein Translation Termination; Translation Termination, Genetic; Translation Termination, Protein; Translational Peptide Chain Termination; Translational Termination, Protein
