The cryo-EM structure of a TnaC–ribosome complex shows how L-tryptophan stalls translation via a sequence-specific pocket in the exit tunnel (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34403461) 
This is in prokaryotes but I’d bet the mechanism exists in eukaryotes.

Structural basis of l-tryptophan-dependent inhibition of release factor 2 by the TnaC arrest peptide - PubMed
In Escherichia coli, elevated levels of free l-tryptophan (l-Trp) promote translational arrest of the TnaC peptide by inhibiting its termination. However, the mechanism by which translation-termination by the UGA-specific decoding release factor 2 (RF2) is inhibited at the UGA stop codon of stalled …

Ever wonder how biomedical innovation actually works (or doesn’t?)

When everyone has an opinion about healthcare costs, and specifically drug prices, it helps to know how drugs happen.
