Translational Efficiancy - (Dec/26/2009 )

Some of my Masters Thesis work was published http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ppar/2009/193413.html.

What do you think about the idea of regulation based on mRNA conformation/translational efficiency? Or openness of the start codon to access of the translational machinery?

Bacteria do something similar -- see the Trp operon in E. coli, for example.
