The protein translation machinery is expressed for maximal efficiency in Escherichia coli

The protein translation machinery is the most expensive cellular subsystem in fast growing bacteria. Providing a detailed mechanistic model for this complex system, the authors show that the translation machinery components are expressed such that their combined cost to the cell is minimal.
