Elongation Cycle

Elongation Cycle

At the beginning of the elongation cycle, the ribosome is holding the tRNA, which is bound to the protein chain

Then, another charged tRNA attaches to the ribosome

The protein chain then shifts from the first tRNA and bonds to the amino acid on the second tRNA

The first tRNA leaves the ribosome

The cycle begins again
