title: Translation termination: a ghost ballet?
abstract: In the October 5th issue of Cell, clarify the end of translation on a eubacterial mRNA. By elucidating the molecular choreography of class I and class II release factors within the ribosome, they show how the steps around the release of nascent protein are ordered.
