RS/tRNA Additional Notes
In fluorescence based assays, GFP with an Asn149TAG mutation was co-expressed with 20-fold increase when in the presence of 5mM of Nε-Acryloyl-L-lysine and the AcrKRS.

In E. coli cells, AcrKRS/tRNA pair enabled the expression of Herceptin antigen binding fragment(Fab) mutants in the presence of 5mM Nε-Acryloyl-L-lysine within a TB media, yielding ~1-2mg/L protein. ESI-MS confirmed incorporation of Nε-Acryloyl-L-lysine at all suppression sites(LC-Tyr92, LC-Thr93, HC-Gly103).
