Abstract
If the rate constant for peptide bond formation were high just after an amino acid incorporation and occasionally switched to a lower value afterwards, then the ribosome could compensate for tRNA imbalance specifically at hungry codons. A rigorous analysis of the scheme proves its effectiveness. For instance, a 10-fold reduction in cognate tRNA concentration may increase the error rate by only a factor of two.Mesh:
