Abstract excerpt
Recently, a general method was developed that makes it possible to genetically encode unnatural amino acids with diverse physical, chemical, or biological properties in Escherichia coli, yeast, and mammalian cells. More than 30 unnatural amino acids have been incorporated into proteins with high fidelity and efficiency by means of a unique codon and corresponding tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair. These include...
