Biochemistry

a mechanism in which energy-consuming delay steps let a biochemical system discriminate correct from incorrect substrates far better than binding energy alone allows.

In biochemistry, kinetic proofreading refers to a mechanism in which energy-consuming delay steps let a biochemical system discriminate correct from incorrect substrates far better than binding energy alone allows. This meaning comes from Hopfield (1974) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
