SELECTIVE INCORPORATION OF 5-HYROXYTRYPTOPHAN INTO PROTEINS IN MAMMALIAN CELLS

摘要

This invention provides methods and compositions for incorporation of an unnatural amino acid into a peptide using an orthogonal aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair. In particular, an orthogonal pair is provided to incorporate 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan in a position encoded by an opal mutation.
