Reinterpreting the Genetic Code - Engineering and Probing Protein Behavior with Non-Canonical Amino Acids
Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
Through the efforts of Dr. Tirrell's laboratory and others, the code has been "reinterpreted" in various ways to enable the participation of an expanded set of amino acids in cellular protein synthesis. These developments have provided a basis for powerful new approaches to protein design and to spatially and temporally resolved analysis of cellular processes.
