Distance-dependent inhibition of translation initiation by downstream out-of-frame AUGs is consistent with a Brownian ratchet process of ribosome scanning
{{output}}
Background: Eukaryotic ribosomes are widely presumed to scan mRNA for the AUG codon to initiate translation in a strictly 5'-3' movement (i.e., strictly unidirectional scanning model), so that ribosomes initiate translation exclu... ...
