A comparison of the (A) normal translation process leading to functional protein production, (B) translation which is interrupted by a premature termination codon (PTC) leading to a truncated non-functional protein production, and (C) translation process which was restored by a read-through inducing compound such as an aminoglycoside. Terminal codons and PTCs are highlighted in yellow, aminoglycoside in green.
