Nonsense suppression methodology, for incorporating unnatural amino acids into proteins, has enabled a wide range of studies into protein structure and function using both in vitro and in vivo translation systems. Although methodological challenges remain, scores of unnatural amino acids have been e

## Abstract The esterification of the carboxyl group in copoly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamyl‐L‐glutamic acid) was carried out using __N__‐hydroxysuccinimide and dicyclohexylcarbodimide to yield the activated site for the coupling reaction with amino compounds. The α‐helix stability of the reactive copolymer
As part of our program aimed at the design of specific enzyme inhibitors, we have been interested in the synthesis of a-alkyl substituted-u-amino acids of type 1 (Y -H or heteroatom functions). R CH3 The classical route to a-alkyl substituted-a-amino acids consists of a Bucherer or a Strecker reacti
The intrinsic viscosity, sedimentation and diffusion of a series of branched, multichain poly-a-amino acids having a poly(b1ysine) backbone and poly( 7-benzyl bglutamate) and poly(j3-benzyl baspartate) side chains was studied at room temperature in dimethylformamide. The molecules were found to beex
