  • METHODS OF INCORPORATING AMINO ACID ANALOGS INTO PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20110008828
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of incorporating nonstandard amino acids into a protein by utilizing a modified aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase to charge the nonstandard amino acid to a modified tRNA, which forms strict Watson-Crick base-pairing with a codon that normally forms wobble base-pairing with natural tRNAs.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 2, 2010

    Applicant: CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Inchan Kwon, David Tirrell
  • SITE-SPECIFIC INCORPORATION OF AMINO ACIDS INTO MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20080044854
    Abstract: The invention provides certain embodiments relating to methods and compositions for incorporating non-natural amino acids into a polypeptide or protein by utilizing a mutant or modified aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase to charge the non-natural amino acid to a the corresponding tRNA. In certain embodiments, the tRNA is also modified such that the complex forms strict Watson-Crick base-pairing with a codon that normally forms wobble base-pairing with unmodified tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pairs.
