Novel Method Allows Researchers to Precisely Engineer and Monitor Protein Function

Boston College chemists say they have developed a technology to precisely incorporate a range of useful non-canonical amino acids into proteins made in eukaryotes. The team’s goal was to create a new method to engineer and monitor protein functions as a way of expanding the scientific understanding of the processes that guide protein functions in our cells.Their study (“ Resurrecting the Bacterial Tyrosyl-tRNA Synthetase/tRNA Pair for Expanding the Genetic Code of Both  E.&
