Release factor
A
release factor
is a
protein
that allows for the termination of
translation
by recognizing the
termination codon
or stop
codon
in an
mRNA
sequence. During translation of mRNA, most
codons
are recognized by "charged"
tRNA
molecules, called
aminoacyl-tRNAs
because they are adhered to specific
amino acids
corresponding to each tRNA's
anticodon
.
