Abstract
The possibility of translation being influenced by the messenger RNA secondary structure is investigated with the aid of a stochastic model. Simulations indicate that, at least for certain mRNA's, the mean ribosomal passage time decreases as the mean number of ribosomes on the messenger is increased. Furthermore, large variations in the passage times are found, in accordance with recent experimental results.
