Method Researchers developed a model to measure the absolute, translational activity at the level of individual genes.
Comments "Open WetWare web page (http://openwetware.org, accessed Jan 2013) provides a list of E.coli statistics, which generally confirm [researchers'] calculations of: transcript copy number per gene (2–3 according to Open WetWare vs. 1.7 in [researchers'] model [median]) translation initiation time (20–30 vs. 15 s in [researchers'] model [median]) the number of proteins produced from one transcript (40 vs. 28 [median] and 48 [mean] in [researchers'] model)."
