An expanded set of amino acid analogs for the ribosomal translation of unnatural peptides.

The application of in vitro translation to the synthesis of unnatural peptides may allow the production of extremely large libraries of highly modified peptides, which are a potential source of lead compounds in the search for new pharmaceutical agents. The specificity of the translation apparatus,...
