Abstract excerpt
Genetic code expansion (GCE) enables the site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins but is constrained by reliance on exogenously supplied chiral ncAAs. Achieving intracellular ncAA biosynthesis would enable more scalable and cost-effective GCE. Here, we report the continuous hypermutation and evolution of amino acid synthases that produce high levels of ncAAs inside yeast, thus...
