Explores genetic code expansion through unnatural amino acids incorporation and biotechnological applications like mRNA display and SILAC-BONCAT techniques.
Delves into retooling the genetic code by expanding it beyond the standard amino acids, with a focus on eukaryotic mRNA translation and site-specific incorporation in fruit fly models.
Covers the basics of proteomics, mass spectrometry, protein synthesis, and amino acids, emphasizing the importance of molecular weight and isotopic abundance.
