TL;DR: The key results of the study are: the average time to add an amino acid, as defined by the ith codon, to the nascent peptide chain is: tau(i)=9.06+1.445x[10.48C(i)+0.5R(i)] (in ms); the misreading frequency is directly proportional to the near-cognate competition, E(i), which is the most important factor that determines the translation rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis is presented with experimental confirmation to conclusively demonstrate the critical role that annealing plays in efficient PCR amplification of GC-rich templates, and the main result is a quantitative expression of the efficiency (#h) of annaling as a function of temperature (T"A), anneal period (t"A) and template composition.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of the convective modes is studied by using a variational approach and deriving a set of spectral equations by means of a truncated mode interaction.

TL;DR: A quantitative model of error frequencies is proposed and the role of reaction conditions is investigated, predicting the accumulation of errors over the course of a PCR cycle.

TL;DR: It is shown that the transcriptional induction of first load-inducible genes, which is independent of new protein synthesis, is frequency dependent, and processes downstream of ERK phosphorylation respond to ultrasound with frequency dependence.
