The actual consumption is much higher and thus the fraction explained by translation is smaller. p.2586 right column bottom paragraph:"Proteins carry out the vast majority of the biochemical activities in living cells. Despite the increased appreciation of RNA's enzymatic and regulatory abilities [ref 10], proteins are largely responsible for the structural, transport and catalytic properties of all cells [ref 1]. Consuming over 70% of the ATP pools utilized by biosynthetic processes, translation is the most expensive anabolic activity [primary source]." See BNID 104849 |
