The details of the chain of events in translation differ somewhat in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Like DNA and RNA synthesis, this process has been more thoroughly studied in prokaryotes. We shall use Escherichia coli as our principal example, because aU aspects of protein synthesis have been most extensively studied in this bacterium. As was the case with replication and transcription, translation can be divided into stages—chain initiation, chain elongation, and chain termination.
