Marc Joiret will present a poster at the conference of Translational Control 2022 (website). The conference will take place in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York (USA) from 6 to 10 September 2022. The poster is focused on the mechano-chemistry of the catalytic site of the ribosome and on the effect of forces on the rate of mRNA translation by the ribosome. His contribution entitles “A simple model of the electrostatic environment around the catalytic center of the ribosome and its significance for the elongation cycle kinetics”.
