An estimate of the global error frequency in translation
Molecular & General Genetics : MGG
|January 1, 1982
Abstract:
Electrophoretic heterogeneity in a set of selected proteins is used to estimate the average error frequency during translation. Estimates based upon streptomycin-induced heterogeneity as well as mistranslation of an ochre codon yield an average error frequency of 4 x 10(-4) for normally growing cells.
