Title: Selective incorporation of 5-hydroxytryptophan into proteins in mammalian cells

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1531637

This invention provides methods and compositions for incorporation of an unnatural amino acid into a peptide using an orthogonal aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair. In particular, an orthogonal pair is provided to incorporate 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan in a position encoded by an opal mutation.
