Abstract excerpt
We recently developed a phage-based system for the evolution of proteins in bacteria with expanded amino acid genetic codes. Here we demonstrate that the unnatural amino acid p-boronophenylalanine (BF) confers a selective advantage in the evolution of glycan-binding proteins. We show that an unbiased library of naive antibodies with NNK-randomized V(H) CDR3 loops converges upon mutants containing BF when placed...
