Phase And Vertical Shift. Phase and vertical shift refer to the transfer of a function in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. For the function , where A, B, C, and D are constants, the phase shift is defined as C/B. If the phase shift is positive, the shift occurs to the left; if the phase shift is negative, the shift occurs to the right.
So it is possible that a whole food meal will have a different impact on the duration of protein synthesis than pure amino acids. Our lab has recently shown that the duration of protein synthesis in response to a complete meal containing protein, carbohydrates, and fats is approximately 3 hours long. Therefore, it appears that a complete meal slightly prolongs the duration of protein synthesis.
The first of protein synthesis steps is initiation that cover the assembly of the translation system components and precedes the formation of peptide bonds. The components involved in the first step of protein synthesis are: the mRNA to be translated.
