Adding L-3-(2-Naphthyl)alanine to the genetic code of E. coli.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124 , 1836-1837, (2002)

An unnatural amino acid, L-3-(2-naphthyl)alanine, has been site-specifically incorporated into proteins in Escherichia coli. An orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase was evolved that uniquely aminoacylates the unnatural amino acid onto an orthogonal amber supp...
