RS/tRNA Additional Notes
Using 1 mM pAcF, yielded 3.6 mg/L protein A(7) (~40% efficiency). Shown pure by MS, and able to be modified by fluoroscein and biotin hydrazides.

Two additional RSs were selected and not characterized. These were LW5 (Y32L, D158G, I159T, L162R) and LW6 (Y32A, D158G, I159G, A167I)
