“…Due to the relaxed amino acid specificity of aaRS, a few ncAAs that are structurally similar to canonical amino acids can be charged to native tRNAs by corresponding aaRS. Examples include selenomethionine ( Kigawa et al, 2002 ), fluorinated tryptophan analogs ( Mat et al, 2010 ), chlorinated tyrosine analogs ( Singh-Blom et al, 2014 ), 4- 18 F-fluoro- L -proline and 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine ( Harada et al, 2016 ). Thus, structurally similar ncAAs can be incorporated in place of the corresponding native amino acids.…”
