An estimate of the global error frequency in translation

N Ellis et al. Mol Gen Genet. 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.
