On the Ribosomal Density that Maximizes Protein Translation Rate
Yoram Zarai, Michael Margaliot, Tamir Tuller
During mRNA translation, several ribosomes attach to the same mRNA molecule simultaneously translating it into a protein. This pipelining increases the protein production rate. A n…
Maximizing Protein Translation Rate in the Nonhomogeneous Ribosome Flow Model: A Convex Optimization Approach
Gilad Poker, Yoram Zarai, Michael Margaliot +1
Translation is an important stage in gene expression. During this stage, macro-molecules called ribosomes travel along the mRNA strand linking amino-acids together in a specific or…
Maximizing Protein Translation Rate in the Ribosome Flow Model: the Homogeneous Case
Yoram Zarai, Michael Margaliot, Tamir Tuller
Gene translation is the process in which intracellular macro-molecules, called ribosomes, decode genetic information in the mRNA chain into the corresponding proteins. Gene transla…
Co-evolution is Incompatible with the Markov Assumption in Phylogenetics
Tamir Tuller, Elchanan Mossel
Markov models are extensively used in the analysis of molecular evolution. A recent line of research suggests that pairs of proteins with functional and physical interactions co-ev…
