Abstract:The expansion of cellular functions via novel modular building blocks, namely unnatural amino acids, their site-selective genetically encoded cotranslational incorporation into proteins, requires the redesign and expansion of the translational network with additional components, the orthogonal tRNA and tRNA synthetase. At the next level protein tectons (tecton = architectural building block) constitute complex genetically encoded "material libraries" inside the cell. These protein tectons are architectural bui… Show more
