The genetic incorporation of thirteen novel non-canonical amino acids [PDF]
Thirteen novel non-canonical amino acids were synthesized and tested for suppression of an amber codon using a mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase–tRNAPylCUA pair.

Lithographic Patterning of Photoreactive Cell-Adhesive Proteins [PDF]
We describe a novel, simple method for the photolithographic patterning of cell-adhesive proteins. Intrinsically photoreactive proteins are synthesized in Escherichia coli through incorporation of the non-canonical, photosensitive amino acid para ...

Analyzing N-terminal Arginylation Through the Use of Peptide Arrays and Degradation Assays [PDF]
Nα-terminal arginylation (Nt-arginylation) of proteins is mediated by the Ate1 arginyltransferase (R-transferase), a component of the Arg/N-end rule pathway.

Click Chemistry (CuAAC) and Detection of Tagged de novo Synthesized Proteins in Drosophila
Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne-cycloaddition (CuAAC), also known as ‘click chemistry’ serves as a technique for bio-orthogonal, that is, bio-compatible labeling of macromolecules including proteins or lipids.

Genome-Wide Identification, Functional Analysis and Expression Profiling of the Aux/IAA Gene Family in Tomato [PDF]
Auxin is a central hormone that exerts pleiotropic effects on plant growth including the development of roots, shoots, flowers and fruit. The perception and signaling of the plant hormone auxin rely on the cooperative action of several components,among

β11-12 linker isomerization governs acid-sensing ion channel desensitization and recovery
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are neuronal sodium-selective channels activated by reductions in extracellular pH. Structures of the three presumptive functional states, high-pH resting, low-pH desensitized, and toxin-stabilized open, have all been ...

Celiac Immunogenic Potential of α-Gliadin Epitope Variants from Triticum and Aegilops Species [PDF]
The high global demand of wheat and its subsequent consumption arise from the physicochemical properties of bread dough and its contribution to the protein intake in the human diet.

Discovery of noncanonical translation initiation sites through mass spectrometric analysis of protein N termini [PDF]
Translation initiation generally occurs at AUG codons in eukaryotes, although it has been shown that non-AUG or non-canonical translation initiation can also occur.

Facilitating the structural characterisation of non-canonical amino acids in biomolecular NMR [PDF]
Abstract. Peptides and proteins containing non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) are a large and important class of biopolymers. They include non-ribosomally synthesised peptides, post-translationally modified proteins, expressed or synthesised proteins containing unnatural amino acids, and peptides and proteins that are chemically modified.
