RS/tRNA Pair Usage Information
Yielded 20 mg/L GFPTAG2 when at 2 mM in E. coli using GMML media. Fidelity confirmed by MS. In LB media yielded 32 mg/L (~2 times that obtained with Phe) of GFPTAG27. No MS done. Yielded 4.3 fold increase in fluorescence using HEK293T cells to produce an EGFR-GFPTAG128 when at 5 mM. No MS done.
