Article on tRNA proofreading in Nature Communications

Written on October 31, 2016 at 10:05 pm, by

Congrats to Jeff  for his paper on EF-Tu and proofreading of aa-tRNA by the ribosome, which appeared in Nature Communications today.  By constructing a range of theoretical models and applying high performance computing, it was shown that EF-Tu may increase the rate of aa-tRNA accommodation, which can improve the efficiency of this molecular machine.
