mRNA[mRNA] --> Init[Initiation:\n40S + Met-tRNAi at AUG]
Init --> Elong[Elongation cycle:\nE-P-A tRNAs, peptide-bond formation]
Elong --> Trans[Translocation: ribosome moves 3 nt]
Trans --> Stop{Stop codon\nUAA/UAG/UGA?}
Stop -- no --> Elong
Stop -- yes --> Term[Termination + release\nrelease factors]
Term --> Pep[Polypeptide]
Pep --> Fold[Co/post-translational folding]
