Expanding the scope of templated macromolecular synthesis in vivo: The incorporation of methionine analogues into proteins in vivo by altering the methionyl-tRNA synthetase activity of a bacterial expression host

The incorporation of non-natural amino acids is an important strategy for engineering novel chemical and physical properties into natural and artificial proteins. The in vivo incorporation of non-natural amino acids is controlled by the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS), the class of enzymes that ca...
