  1. Mutation are annotated under four categories: (a) those likely to abrogate or disturb ligand or tRNA binding due to direct contacts with substrates/products, (b) those that are part of aaRS structural core and where mutation may directly affect enzyme folding/stability, (c) those that occur at protein surfaces which will end up being interfaces during assembly of oligomers (like dimeric interfaces), and (d) those that do not fall into any of the above and therefore where further experimentation may provide a mechanistic basis for mutational effects.
