Kinetic proofreading at single molecular level: aminoacylation of tRNA(Ile) and the role of water as an editor.

Proofreading/editing in protein synthesis is essential for accurate translation of information from the genetic code. In this article we present a theoretical investigation of efficiency of a kinetic proofreading mechanism that employs hydrolysis of the wrong substrate as the discriminatory step in...
