RS/tRNA Additional Notes
A second selected RS designated p-benzoylPheRS-2 (w/ mutations Y31G,D182G, F183Y, L186M) was not further characterized. Yield of hSOD(33) (human superoxide dismutase) said to be ~50 ng/L (~20% efficiency) and with full fidelity by MS analysis.
Shown in second foundational paper to work in CHO cells using a B. stearothermophilus tRNA. And this system is described in the 2012 Nature Protocol.
