Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
ATP + L-alanine + tRNAAla = AMP + diphosphate + L-alanyl-tRNAAla kinetic mechanism, AlaRS belongs to the class II of aminoacyl-tRNA ligases due to the position of aminoacylation on the 3'-terminal tRNA ribose, and the topology and tRNAbinding orientation of the active-site protein fold, class II synthetases are rate-limited by a step prior to aminoacyl transfer, the distinct mechanistic signatures of class I versus class II tRNA synthetases ensure rapid turnover of aminoacyl-tRNAs during protein synthesis Escherichia coli
