The C-terminus is the carboxyl end of a <protein> or <amino acid> chain. During <biological translation>, each new residue is added at this end. The example under <gene expression> gives N–<methionine>–<alanine>–C, placing <alanine> at the <C-terminus>; its <stop codon> supplies no further residue. https://openstax.org/books/biology-2e/pages/3-4-proteins[OpenStax Biology 2e, 3.4: polypeptide termini]{ref}
