Method "A highly sensitive and generalizable assay for tRNA aminoacylation was adapted for rigorous measurement of steady-state and microscopic rate constants by E. coli GlnRS. The assay is based on 32P-labeling at the 3'-internucleotide linkage of the tRNA (ref 18 of primary source)."
Comments "Under non-limiting Gln supply, the kinetic parameters of the aaRS enzyme are kcat=3.20±0.48s^-1 and Km=0.31±0.09µM (for tRNA) (primary source)"
