Abstract excerpt
We report a tunable chemical genetics approach for enhancing genetic code expansion in different wild-type bacterial strains that employ apidaecin-like, antimicrobial peptides observed to temporarily sequester and thereby inhibit Release Factor 1 (RF1). In a concentration-dependent matter, these peptides granted a conditional lambda phage resistance to a recoded Escherichia coli strain with nonessential RF1...
