Efficient genetic code expansion without host genome modifications go.nature.com/3MDSSXQ

ncAAs can endow proteins with new activities, but their incorporation efficiencies during translation can be poor. Today in Nature Biotechnology, we report that altering mRNA codon usage can improve incorporation efficiency, yielding proteins with up to 3 ncAAs! nature.com/articles/s4158…
