title: Co-translational insertion of envelope proteins: theoretical consideration and implications.
abstract: In this paper we examine some of the quantitative consequences of co-translational insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMP). Due to the linkage of OMP-synthesizing polysomes to the cell envelope, the whole machinery involved in the synthesis of OMP must necessarily be membrane-bound and dynamic. Implications of the model are discussed.
