Levels of protein translation by ribosomes are governed both by features of the translation machinery as well as sequence properties of the mRNAs themselves. We focus here on a striking three-nucleotide periodicity, characterized by overrepresentation of GCN codons and underrepresentation of G at the second position of codons, that is observed in Open Reading Frames (ORFs) of mRNAs. Our examination of mRNA sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed that this periodicity is particularly pronounced in the initial co
