Title: Methods for making polypeptides including d-amino acids

Abstract

A method of making a polypeptide including one or more D-amino acids is provided. The method includes combining a ribosome with protein translation factors including (1) a template encoding the polypeptide, wherein the template encoding the polypeptide includes one or more codons which have been recoded to accept a tRNA attached to a D-amino acid, (2) a plurality of L-amino acids and a plurality of corresponding tRNAs, (3) a plurality of D-amino acids and their corresponding aminoacyl tRNA synthetase or a plurality of tRNAs ligated with a D-amino acid, and (4) elongation factor P in a concentration of 2 to 20 micromolar, wherein translation of the template encoding the polypeptide occurs to produce the polypeptide including one or more D-amino acids.
