Computational studies on the cognate and non-cognate aminoacyl-tRNAs

Although kinetic proofreading plays a major role in the fidelity of protein synthesis, it only includes the codon-anticodon interaction without considering the amino acid side chain. It is not known whether the ribosome has a specific interaction with the amino acid side chain or if the correctly ch...
