摘要:
The invention relates to a method of making a polypeptide comprising an orthogonal functional group, said orthogonal functional group being comprised by an aliphatic amino acid or amino acid derivative, said method comprising providing a host cell; providing a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of interest; providing a tRNA-tRNA synthetase pair orthogonal to said host cell; adding an amino acid or amino acid derivative comprising the orthogonal functional group of interest, wherein said amino acid or amino acid derivative is a substrate for said orthogonal tRNA synthetase, wherein said amino acid or amino acid derivative has an aliphatic carbon backbone; and incubating to allow incorporation of said amino acid or amino acid derivative into the polypeptide of interest via the orthogonal tRNA-tRNA synthetase pair. The invention also relates to certain amino acids, and to polypeptides comprising same.
摘要:
The invention relates to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid having a norbornene group. Suitably said norbornene group is present as an amino acid residue of a norbornene lysine. The invention also relates to a method of producing a polypeptide comprising a norbornene group, said method comprising genetically incorporating an amino acid comprising a norbornene group into a polypeptide. The polypeptide comprising the norbornene group can be specifically labelled by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction with a tetrazine compound.
