培養植物細胞配給蛋白質合成的能在呼吸總能中所佔的比率

Energy budgeted for protein synthesis in cultured plant cells

It is estimated that the growing cell culture of sycamore consumes approximately 50% of its metabolic energy for protein synthesis. This finding indicates that (1) the plant cell culture is a highly efficient system in which most of energy obtained from respiration can be accounted for; (2) protein synthesis is indeed an expensive process and needs to be regulated.
