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…
On the Structure of the Initiation and Elongation Rates that Maximize Protein Production in the Ribosome Flow Model
Yoram Zarai, Michael Margaliot
Translation is a crucial step in gene expression. During translation, macromolecules called ribosomes "read" the mRNA strand in a sequential manner and produce a corresponding prot…
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…
A Nonlinear Consensus Algorithm Derived from Statistical Physics
Michael Margaliot, Alon Raveh, Yoram Zarai
The asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is an important model from statistical physics describing particles that hop randomly from one site to the next along an ordered latt…
