Abstract excerpt
The site-specific incorporation of the non-natural amino acid p-boronophenylalanine (Bpa) into recombinant proteins enables the development of novel carbohydrate-binding functions as well as bioorthogonal chemical modification. To this end, Bpa is genetically encoded by an amber stop codon and cotranslationally inserted into the recombinant polypeptide chain at the ribosome by means of an artificial...
