Model of translation inhibition by secondary structure in the 5′-UTR. The pre-initiation complex (green) scans in the 3′-direction and is impeded by one or more regions of mRNA structure, decreasing the rate of translation initiation. To capture this effect, a model was created that allowed for two or more regions of secondary structure that can influence translational efficiency.
