<br>In this model, translation is simulated assuming an environment of unlimited amino acids and ribosomes. We also assume that the rate at which ribosomes incorporate amino acids is constant over all T7 mRNA. | <br>In this model, translation is simulated assuming an environment of unlimited amino acids and ribosomes.
