| Comments |
The aminoacylation step, carried out by the aa-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), has been demonstrated to proceed with a remarkable level of accuracy the incorrect amino acid is attached to the tRNA once in 10^4-10^5 events, owing to kinetic discrimination and “double-sieve” editing mechanisms utilized by the enzymes. Note: Kramer et al 2007 PUBMEDID 17095544 give aminoacylation error rate of 10^-6 incorrect/correct aa |
