- - - - tRNA synthetases COVALENTLY ATTACH tRNA with the corresponding amino acid
        
        charged tRNA: has amino acid attached
        
        uncharged tRNA: no amino acid attached
- - - - aminoacyl site
        
        peptidyl site
        
        exit site
- - - - PRODUCE THE POLYPEPTIDE (ribosome, elongation factors)
        
        TERMINATING TRANSLATION (release factor)
- - - - large ribosome subunit attaches to create P-site (peptidyl) and A-site (aminoacyl)
        
        the 1st tRNA occupies P-site and the 2nd RNA enters A-site and is complementary to 2nd mRNA codon
        
        Amino acid transferred from tRNA in P-site to tRNA in A-site
        
        1st tRNA exits, ribosome moves along mRNA
        
        next tRNA enters, continue
        
        when ribosome reaches stop codon in the A-site, release factor enters A site and termination occurs
