Abstract excerpt
When coexpressed with its cognate amber suppressing tRNACUAPyl(CUA), a pyrrolysyltRNA synthetase mutant N346A/C348A is able to genetically incorporate 12 meta-substituted phenylalanine derivatives into proteins site-specifically at amber mutation sites in Escherichia coli. These genetically encoded noncanonical amino acids resemble phenylalanine in size and contain diverse bioorthogonal functional groups such as...
