Before revision:  We investigate a model based on the network of the seven discrete chemo-mechanical states of a ribosome using a graph-theoretic approach to derive the exact solution of the corresponding master equations.
After revision:  We investigate a model based on the network of the seven discrete chemo-mechanical states of a ribosome during the elongation stage of translation. The model is analyzed using a combination of stochastic thermodynamic and kinetic analysis based on a graph-theoretic approach to derive the exact solution of the corresponding master equations.
