PermaPhosSer: autonomous synthesis of functional, permanently phosphorylated proteins

Installing stable, functional mimics of phosphorylated amino acids into proteins offers a powerful strategy to study protein regulation. Previously, a genetic code expansion (GCE) system was developed to translationally install non-hydrolyzable phosphoserine (nhpSer), with the {gamma}-oxygen replaced with carbon, but it has seen limited usage. Here, we achieve a 40-fold... Show more
