  • Site-specific incorporation of amino acids into molecules
    Patent number: 8980581
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2015
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Pin Wang, Inchan Kwon, Soojin Son, Yi Tang, David Tirrell
