Polypeptide Elongation

This process models the polymerization of amino acids into polypeptides by ribosomes using an mRNA transcript as a template. Elongation terminates once a ribosome has reached the end of an mRNA transcript. Polymerization occurs across all ribosomes simultaneously and resources are allocated to maximize the progress of all ribosomes within the limits of the maximum ribosome elongation rate, available amino acids and GTP, and the length of the transcript.

defaults:

proteinIds: array length n of protein names

calculate_request(timestep, states)[source]

Set ribosome elongation rate based on simulation medium environment and elongation rate factor which is used to create single-cell variability in growth rate The maximum number of amino acids that can be elongated in a single timestep is set to 22 intentionally as the minimum number of padding values on the protein sequence matrix is set to 22. If timesteps longer than 1.0s are used, this feature will lead to errors in the effective ribosome elongation rate.
