p.239 right column top paragraph:"However, the most important factor responsible for poor mRNA–protein correlations is the long half-life of proteins relative to mRNAs. A typical bacterial protein half-life is ~20 h (primary sources), which is about two orders of magnitude longer than an mRNA half-life. Thus, most proteins persist in a bacterial cell long after the mRNAs that encoded them have been degraded." |
