Abstract
A chromatographic assay was used to identify ten noncanonical amino acids that can be appended to the N terminus of peptides and proteins by the L,F-transferase of Escherichia coli. A model protein substrate, E. coli dihydrofolate reductase, was modified with p-ethynylphenylalanine and conjugated to azide–biotin and azide–polyethylene glycol–fluorescein probes (see scheme).
