RS/tRNA Additional Notes
ThzKRS incorporated 10mm Ne-L-Thiapropyl-L-lysine, resulting in 16-fold more GFP production than MbPylRS/tRNA, shown by GFP assays and western blotting.

In T4 Lysozyme, Ne-L-Thiapropyl-L-lysine was incorporated at position 83 at 2 mg/L in the presence of ThzKRS, confirmed by ESI-MS. This system was then used to test the effectiveness of CBT-fluorescein site-specific labeling, and dual-labeling by using calmodulin.
