Figure 4.
The effect of incomplete translocation during the first elongation cycle (represented by rt) on –1 PRF. All other parameters are assumed to be constant. (a) The effect of rt on frameshift efficiency (FS%, blue line), frameshift protein incorporating a –1 frame aa-tRNA at the recoding site (FSm, green line), and frameshift protein incorporating a zero frame aa-tRNA at the recoding site (FSz, red line). (b) The effect of rt on the fraction of FSm and FSz.
