A twisted tRNA intermediate sets the threshold for decoding
A twisted tRNA intermediate sets the threshold for decoding.

Putting together consistent cryo-EM structure, transient kinetic and mutant tRNA suppressor data, it appears that a deformed or waggling aminoacyl-tRNA is the critical transitional structure examined by the ribosome during decoding at the A site. The unusual conformation may be required for effective proofreading of the codon-anticodon complex.
