Method Single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET). Intermediate states in the pathway of tRNA delivery were observed using antibiotics and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs. Measured under relatively high magnesium, low fidelity conditions
Comments Initial selection is comprised of: Initial binding, coding recognition and GTPase activation
