Modelling cellular protein synthesis : the complexity of ribosome traffic on mRNA chains

In this thesis I study the last step of gene expression, namely mRNA translation, by means of approaches and quantitative methods borrowed from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics such as the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP), the prototypic model of unidimensional transport. The...
