Primary SourceSørensen MA, Kurland CG, Pedersen S. Codon usage determines translation rate in Escherichia coli. J Mol Biol. 1989 May 20207(2):365-77.
Primary Source PubMed ID 2474074
Measurement MethodPrimary source: In order to determine the difference in translation rate between different codons, researchers inserted a small DNA fragment in the lacZ gene either directly or flanked by a few frame-shifting bases, leaving the reading frame of the lacZ gene unchanged.
