Translational roles of the C75 2′OH in an in vitro tRNA transcript at the ribosomal A, P and E sites

Abstract Aminoacyl-tRNAs containing a deoxy substitution in the penultimate nucleotide (C75 2′OH → 2′H) have been widely used in translation for incorporation of unnatural amino acids (AAs). However, this supposedly innocuous modification surprisingly increased peptidyl-tRNAAla ugc drop off in bioch...
