“…This type of construction provides an optimal sequence for translation initiation. The efficiency of translation is also affected by many other factors such as the choice of promoter, the sequence of bases in the vicinity of the ribosome binding site, the plasmid copy number, the codon usage, the presence of a transcription terminator, the choice of bacterial host, and the growth conditions of the bacterial host (Iserentant & Fiers, 1980;Shepard et al, 1982;Carrier et al, 1983;DeBoer & Hui, 1990;Goeddel, 1990).…”
