title: Movable finite automata (MFA) models for biological systems. II: Protein biosynthesis.
abstract: A recently introduced class of models, the Movable Finite Automata (MFA) models, are used for simulating the elongation of the polypeptide chain in protein biosynthesis. The results of these simulations, all carried out on a microcomputer, are given.
