Kinetic partitioning of aminoacyl-adenylate and aminoacylated tRNA within the synthetic (blue) and editing (red) sites, respectively. First-order rate constants for aminoacyl transfer and aa-tRNA deacylation were determined by single-turnover kinetics. Aminoacyl-adenylate hydrolysis and aa-tRNA dissociation are represented by steady-state rate constants (marked with an asterisk) that impose lower limits on the true values of the first-order microscopic rate constants for these steps. Dynamics of the cognate aa-tRNA translocation has not yet been investigated.
