Geometric alignment of aminoacyl-tRNA relative to catalytic centers of the ribosome underpins accurate mRNA decoding

Abstract Accurate protein synthesis is determined by the two-subunit ribosome’s capacity to selectively incorporate cognate aminoacyl-tRNA for each mRNA codon. The molecular basis of tRNA selection accuracy, and how fidelity can be affected by antibiotics, remains incompletely understood. Using mole...
