The mature mRNA transcript travels to the ribosome., tRNA molecules attached to specific amino acids travel to the ribosome., tRNA anticodons bond to mRNA codons by complementary base pairing, starting at the start codon and ending at the stop codon., The correct amino acids are brought into position., Peptide bonds join the amino acids together., This forms a polypeptide chain. , Each tRNA then leaves the ribosome., The polypeptide chain folds to form the three-dimensional shape of a protein held together by hydrogen bonds..
