Question:
The rate of transcription in a bacterium is 50 nucleotides/min and the average molecular weight of an amino acid is 110 Da. Time taken for synthesis of the mRNA of a protein with molecular weight of 110 kDa is min. (rounded off to one decimal place) Assume no abortive transcriptions and no sequences upstream of the start codon.
