Abstract excerpt
Amino acid misincorporation during protein synthesis occurs naturally at a low level. Protein sequence errors, depending on the level and the nature of the misincorporation, can have various consequences. When site-directed mutagenesis is used as a tool for understanding the role of a side chain in enzyme catalysis, misincorporation in a variant with intrinsically low activity may lead to misinterpretations...
