- •
Hypothesis: the ribosome swims along the mRNA during protein synthesis.
- •
How can withstand the thermal agitation of the particles in the surrounding fluid?
- •
The Péclet number Pe is calculated estimating the in vivo diffusion coefficient.
- •
With small size deformations the ribosome has speeds similar to motor proteins.
- •
Similar Pe values for the ribosome and the motor proteins mean feasible hypothesis.
