Kinetic efficiency for cognate and near-cognate GTP hydrolysis, (kcat/Km)GTP, were estimated from experiments with ribosomes at 1 and 2 µM, which are always in excess over ternary complex. The rate of GTP hydrolysis at 2 µM was always twice that at 1 µM with virtually identical kcat/Km estimates. Kinetic efficiencies for near-cognate dipeptide formation, (kcat/Km)dip, were derived from titrations of ternary complex in excess over ribosomes. Initial selection (I) was calculated from the ratio of cognate to near-cognate (kcat/Km)GTP parameters. Proofreading factor (F) was calculated from the ratio between near-cognate kcat/Km-values for GTP hydrolysis and dipeptide formation (see SI Materials and Methods). Data represent weighted averages from at least two independent experiments ± propagated SD.
