Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for measuring the rate of translation of a target protein in cells, which are based on the detection of translation of one or more predetermined codon pairs during synthesis of the target protein. The detection is provided by a FRET signal emitted from labeled tRNA molecules which are juxtaposed during synthesis of the protein.
