| Method |
Calculated manually: Apolipoprotein B gene sequence spans 13,689 nucleotides from the initiation to the stop codon. Thus the messenger has the capacity to code for 4563 amino acids, corresponding to a translation rate of 5 aa/sec. Translation time of 14 min measured by Pulse-chase methodology in the Hep-G2 cell (a human liver carcinoma cell line) |
