The row and column from steps 1 and 2 intersect in a set of boxes in the codon table, one half containing four codons and the other half containing the mapped amino acid(s). If you want to use the structure of the table to the maximum, however, you can use the third axis (on the right side of the table) corresponding to the intersect box.

This page outlines translation in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including a discussion of the "machine" of translation, the ribosome. Additional topics include the genetic code, the reading frame, and how the polypeptide is processed to become a protein.
