Abstract excerpt
As one of the most valuable tools for genetic code expansion, pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) is structurally related to phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS). By introducing mutations that mimic ligand interactions in PheRS into PylRS, we designed a PylRS mutant. This mutant, designated as oClFRS, recognizes a number of o-substituted phenylalanines for their genetic incorporation at amber codon. Its efficiency...
