Abstract

We report the design, chemical synthesis, and flexizyme-catalyzed transfer RNA (tRNA) acylation of a variety of fluorescent amino acids (FAAs). The fluorescent groups include pyrene, coumarin, nitrobenzoxadiazole, and fluorescein variants. We further demonstrate site-specific incorporation of the FAAs into peptides by the ribosomein vitrothrough genetic code reprogramming.
