Abstract excerpt
Misacylation of tRNA by a non-cognate amino acid is a natural phenomenon and occurs with a frequency of approximately 1 in 10,000 due to occasional mistakes in aminoacyl transfer RNA (tRNA) synthesis. In a number of prokaryotic organisms, misacylation of selenocysteinyl tRNA, glutaminyl tRNA and aspartyl tRNAs has particular physiological meaning. Recently, misacylation has emerged as a powerful tool for studying...
