RS/tRNA Pair Usage Information
Yielded 24 mg/L GFPTAG2 when at 2 mM in E. coli using GMML media. Fidelity confirmed by MS. In LB media yielded 19 mg/L (~1 times that obtained with Phe) of GFPTAG27 having a 50/50 mix of Phe/2-MeO-Phe. Yielded 4.1 fold increase in fluorescence using HEK293T cells to produce an EGFR-GFPTAG128 when at 5 mM. No MS done.
