Chimeric design of pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs and canonical synthetase/tRNA pairs for genetic code expansion

Orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs are crucial for the incorporation of unnatural amino acids in a site-specific manner. Here the authors use rational chimera design to create multiple efficient pairs that function in bacterial and mammalian systems for genetic code expansion.
