Abstract
Quality control: The incorporation of a wrong amino acid into a growing polypeptide chain induces a correction step in which the release factor (RF1) hydrolyzes the peptide from the incorrectly matched peptidyl-tRNA (see picture). The nascent erroneous polypeptide is released from the ribosome and degraded.
