The mechanism of error induction by the antibiotic viomycin provides insight into the fidelity mechanism of translation
Applying pre-steady state kinetics to an Escherichia-coli-based reconstituted translation system, we have studied how the antibiotic viomycin affects the accuracy of genetic code reading. We find that viomycin binds to translating ribosomes associated with a ternary complex (TC) consisting of elonga...
