Abstract

A general method for the in vivo incorporation of amino acid analogues into artificial proteins is described. The method involves the construction of an artificial gene encoding the sequence of interest (with the corresponding natural amino acid encoded in place of the analogue), transformation of a bacterial host strain that cannot synthesize the natural amino acid, and induction of protein synthesis in a host culture enriched in the analogue. Results are described for the amino acid analogues selenomethionine, p-fluorophenylalanine, trifluoroleucine and 3-thienylalanine.
