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…
