Abstract excerpt
A designed yeast phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (yPheRS (T415G)) activates four tryptophan (Trp) analogues (6-chlorotryptophan (6ClW), 6-bromotryptophan (6BrW), 5-bromotryptophan (5BrW), and benzothienylalanine (BT)) that are not utilized by the endogenous E. coli translational apparatus. Introduction of yPheRS (T415G) and a mutant yeast phenylalanine amber suppressor tRNA (ytRNAPheCUA_UG) into an E. coli...
