Abstract excerpt
Nonsense suppression method was used to probe the allowable modification of substrate (amino acid) backbone in the prokaryotic ribosomal system. Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) with an amber mutation was translated in the RF1-diminished prokaryotic cell free translation system in the presence of chemically-misacylated yeast tRNA(Phe)CUA. The prokaryotic ribosome showed a restricted tolerance to the backbone...
