Chemical Conjugation to Less Targeted Proteinogenic Amino Acids

TL;DR: In recent years a number of methods have emerged for chemical bioconjugation to other amino acids and in this review, the progress in this area is presented.

An efficient opal-suppressor tryptophanyl pair creates new routes for simultaneously incorporating up to three distinct noncanonical amino acids into proteins in mammalian cells

TL;DR: The bacteria-derived tryptophanyl (EcTrp) pair is an excellent TGA-suppressor in mammalian cells and it is shown that this pair does not cross-react with any of the three previously established aaRS/tRNA pairs.

Site-Specific Introduction of Bioorthogonal Handles to Nanopores by Genetic Code Expansion.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the genetic code expansion (GCE) strategy to introduce unnatural amino acid (UAA) to an octameric Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) nanopore.

Development, Characterization, and Structural Analysis of a Genetically Encoded Red Fluorescent Peroxynitrite Biosensor

TL;DR: In this paper , a boronic acid-containing noncanonical amino acid (ncAA), p-boronophenylalanine (pBoF), was introduced to amino acid residues spatially close to the chromophore of an enhanced circularly permuted red fluorescent protein (ecpApple).

Click Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of powerful, highly reliable, and selective reactions for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds and combinatorial libraries through heteroatom links (C-X-C), an approach called click chemistry is defined, enabled, and constrained by a handful of nearly perfect "springloaded" reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology

TL;DR: The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information and states that such information cannot be transferred from protein to either protein or nucleic acid.

Adding New Chemistries to the Genetic Code

TL;DR: The development of new orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs has led to the addition of approximately 70 unnatural amino acids to the genetic codes of Escherichia coli, yeast, and mammalian cells, which provide new opportunities to generate proteins with enhanced or novel properties and probes of protein structure and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding the Genetic Code of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: A unique transfer RNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair has been generated that expands the number of genetically encoded amino acids in Escherichia coli and should provide a general method for increasing the genetic repertoire of living cells to include a variety of amino acids with novel structural, chemical, and physical properties not found in the common 20 amino acids.
