Gene length as a regulator for ribosome recruitment and protein synthesis: theoretical insights
Lucas D. Fernandes, Alessandro P. S. de Moura, Luca Ciandrini
Protein synthesis rates are determined, at the translational level, by properties of the transcript's sequence. The efficiency of an mRNA can be tuned by varying the ribosome bindi…
