Abstract excerpt
Genetic code expansion (GCE) is a powerful technique for site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins in living cells, which is achieved through evolved aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase mutants. Stability is important for promoting enzyme evolution, and we found that many of the evolved synthetase mutants have reduced thermostabilities. In this study, we characterized two novel...
