ID: Ribosome Binding Site (RBS)

  • Description: RBS promoting translation rate
  • Hypothesis:
    • Continuous and constant translation rate
    • Unlimited resource for translation (ribosome, tRNA ...)
  • Inputs:
    • [mRNA]
  • Outputs:
    • protein-synthesis-rate
  • Characteristic parameters:
    • translation-rate-per-mRNA
RBS Brick Architecture

CellML structure (CellML 1.1 spec)

  • Component: RBS

Comments

  • this component provides the synthesis rate of downstream proteins based on [mRNA] and RBS translation rate.
  • don't know if it is possible to characterize experimentally the translationRatePermRNA?
