Figure 5

Schematic illustration of the energy transfer-dependent emission of dATP associated with the translocation step. Val represents Val-AMP or Val-tRNAIle. Binding of tRNAIle triggers translocation of Val-AMP or Val-tRNAIle from the active site to the editing site with subsequent occupation of dATP in the vacated active site. Energy transfer-dependent emission (350 nm) from an excited Trp (shown in black) is transferred to dATP, resulting in emission at 440 nm.
