What happens to the extra amino acids once the 'STOP' has been read by the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Once the ribosome reaches the termination or "stop" codon protein synthesis for that gene product is complete. The ribosome then disembles from the mRNA and any triplets after the stop codon are not read, nor are they attempted to match with a tRNA anticodon.
