The elongation characteristics upon varying the post-insertion or catalytic rate k_IV+ for the transition from the insertion state (IV) to the product state (V) in the five-state model. The elongation rate J, the error rate Err in the logarithmic value, and the entropy production per cycle ${\Xi }_p$ are shown versus k_IV+ or versus the free energy expenditure H_d for: (a) The pre-insertion selection strategy (${\eta }_{III}^{+}={\eta }_{III}^{-}=100\&{\eta }_{IV}^{+}={\eta }_{IV}^{-}=1$); (b) The post-insertion selection strategy (${\eta }_{III}^{+}={\eta }_{III}^{-}=1\&{\eta }_{IV}^{+}={\eta }_{IV}^{-}=100$). The corresponding characteristic values at the default value of k_IV+ = 1000 s⁻¹ are labeled by stars.
