Abstract excerpt
A number of non-canonical amino acids (NCAAs) with unstrained olefins are genetically encoded using mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNA(Pyl)(CUA) pairs. These NCAAs readily undergo inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder cycloadditions with tetrazine dyes, leading to selective labeling of proteins bearing these NCAAs in live cells.
