Summary Introduction

To review:

The maximum rate of translation by a ribosome in a bacterial cell. To calculate the time period taken by the bacterial cell to translate an mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) containing 1800 codons.

Introduction:

The transcriptional and translational rates should proceed at a controlled rate to avoid collisions between the ribosomes and the RNA polymerases. The transcription rate of RNA polymerase into mRNA is 60 nucleotides per second. The mRNA contains 1800 codons.
