Popis: Backbone extended monomers are poorly compatible with the natural ribosomes, impeding their polymerization into polypeptides. Here the authors design non-canonical amino acid analogs with cyclic structures or extended carbon chains and used an engineered ribosome to improve tRNA-charging and incorporation into peptides.
