Noncanonical Amino Acids in Synthetic Biosafety and Post-translational Modification Studies

The incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) has been extensively studied because of its broad applicability. In the past decades, various in vitro and in vivo ncAA incorporation approaches have been developed to generate synthetic recombinant proteins. Herein, we discuss the methodologies for ncAA incorporation, and their use in diverse research areas, such as in synthetic biosafety and for studies of post-translational modifications.

Automated summary

The synthesis of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) has been extensively studied for its broad applicability in generating synthetic recombinant proteins, particularly in the fields of synthetic biosafety and post-translational modification research.
