... S. Gibbs, Alan Embry, Brian Dolan, Suman Das, Heather D. Hickman, Peter Berglund, Jack R. Bennink, Jonathan W. Yewdell & Tao Pan Translational fidelity, essential for protein and cell function, requires accurate transfer RNA (tRNA) aminoacylation. Purified aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases exhibit a fidelity of one error per 10,000 to 100,000 couplings. The accuracy of tRNA aminoacylation...
