Fig 6. The RFM as a chain of n sites of codons.

Fig 6

Each site is described by a state variable xi(t) ∈ [0, 1], expressing the normalized ribosome occupancy at site i at time t. λ0 is the initiation rate, and λi is the elongation rate from site i to site i + 1. Translation rate at time t is R(t) ≔ λnxn(t).
