Despite my best intentions, I am aware of the deficiencies and limitations that still exist in this volume. I have tried to correct the numerous minor errors in the first edition which undoubtedly reflected my lax proof reading. In this respect I wish to express my sincere thanks to the numerous friends and colleagues who took the time to comment on the strengths and deficiencies of the first edition. Hopefully, the second edition has remedied the more glaring errors and omissions. In producing the second edition, my intention has been to keep the volume as concise as possible without compromising on the accuracy of the contents.

Although DNA proof-reading and repair mechanisms within cells are very effective, inevitably some errors in replication remain uncorrected, and as a result become perpetuated in the DNA of the organism. Such permanent changes are called mutations. 

Many aminoacyl-tRNA synthases appear to contain a second catalytic site that serves to correct errors by hydrolyzing incorrectly matched amino acids and tRNAs. These proof-reading hydrolysis reactions are best understood in the case...
