Costs of ribosomal RNA stabilization affect ribosome composition at maximum growth rate
Abstract Ribosomes are key to cellular self-fabrication and limit growth rate. While most enzymes are proteins, ribosomes consist of 1/3 protein and 2/3 ribonucleic acid (RNA) (in E. coli). Here, we develop a mechanistic model of a self-fabricating cell, validated across diverse growth conditions. T...
