RS/tRNA Availability
Addgene #173899 is for the plasmid for pThrRS and PduX (which is a Thr kinase).

Addgene #174075 and #174076 are for control sfGFP WT and 150TAG, respectively. To use these plasmids for a different POI, you can clone in your POI in place of the sfGFP construct. The sfGFP/POI plasmids are not the ones originally used with this system, but work well with it.

Competent cells of BL21(DE3) ΔserC ΔycdX can be purchased commercially from Amid Biosciences (Catalog # BLPCY-201).
