Analysis
What’s the compartment that we want?
Lipid
Enough space
Anchor protein
Easy to use
Compatible
Analysis
Only Eukaryotes?
Can intracellular membrane exist in prokaryotes?

RNA Guardian Modeling Result
The Stability of mRNA is sorted as:
(RBS0 + CDS + RBS1)(+) > (RBS1 + RBS0 + CDs)(+) > (RBS0 + CDs )
(RBS0 + CDS + RBS1)(+):60% relatively increase theoretically
(RBS1 + RBS0 + CDs)(+):20% relatively increase theoretically
