| Method |
The data gathered from multiple fluorescent reporters (proflavin- and wybutine- labeled tRNA, mant-dGTP) and chemical assays (GTP hydrolysis and peptidyl transfer), together with global fitting approaches, have allowed for reasonable estimates of the rate constants for nearly all of the identified steps in the tRNA selection pathway. These rates for both cognate and near-cognate ternary complexes can be used to estimate the contribution of each phase of the process (initial selection and proofreading) to the overall accuracy of selection. They can also be used to evaluate whether the calculated predictions match in vivo measurements. Selectivity during initial selection is dictated by the relative kcat/Km values. |

The stages of initial selection are: Initial binding, coding recognition and GTPase activation |
