Abstract excerpt
To ensure the fidelity of protein biosynthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) must recognize the tRNA identity elements of their cognate tRNAs and discriminate their cognate amino acids from structurally similar ones through a proofreading (editing) reaction. For a better understanding of these processes, we investigated the role of tRNA(Leu) tertiary structure in the aminoacylation and editing reactions...
