Protein production in Escherichia coli is guided by the trade-off between intracellular substrate availability and energy cost

Table 2 Initial number of actively translating ribosomes and EFTu during the simulation of translation in a reaction compartment with \(V = 0.064\,\upmu{\text{m}}^{3}\)

Molecule	Number	Source
Ribosomes	1044	Rudorf and Lipowsky [18]
EFTu	9122	Rudorf and Lipowsky [18]

The number of molecules was calculated for concentrations at a given growth rate of \(\mu = 1.1\,{\text{h}}^{ - 1}\)
