releasetekijät
Releasetekijät, a Finnish term often translated as "release factors," are crucial components in biological protein synthesis. These specialized proteins play a vital role in terminating the translation process, which is the mechanism by which genetic information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to create a specific protein.
Translation begins at a start codon on the mRNA and proceeds along the molecule, reading codons (three-nucleotide
This is where releasetekijät come into play. When a stop codon reaches the A-site of the ribosome
There are typically multiple types of releasetekijät, each recognizing one or more of the three stop codons
