the wild-type AlaRS editing domain deacylates Ser-tRNAAla with a kcat/Km of 66 mM/s, equivalent to a rate enhancement of 6000 over the rate of enzyme-independent deacylation but only 12.2fold greater than the rate with Ala-tRNAAla. While the E664A and T567G substitutions only minimally decrease kcat/Km, Q584H, I667E, and C666A AlaRS are more compromised in activity, with decreases in kcat/Km in the range of 6fold, 6.6fold, and 15fold. C666A AlaRS is 1.7fold more active on Ala-tRNAAla relative to Ser-tRNAAl. Deacylation rates of Ser-tRNAAla and Ala-tRNAAla in the absence of enzyme are determined by fitting the progress curves to equations describing a first-order decay
