Hydrolysis of the wrong aa-tRNA
What happens to the wrong aa-tRNA in the PRS?
It is hydrolyzed
What happens to the correct aa-tRNA in the PRS?
It is protected and participates in translation
What is the increased error rate for similar size amino acids?

Test your knowledge on the normal rate of error in charging amino acids and the double-sieve mechanism of proofreading with this quiz. Learn about the correct and incorrect products that participate in translation, their hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, and the specific error rates. Challenge yourself and see how much you know about this important process in protein synthesis.
