Studying membrane proteins using genetic code extensions

Protein labeling strategy. Credit: Chemical Reviews (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.4c00181 Over the years, chemical biology techniques have made important contributions to the study of integral membrane proteins. An important modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which allows proteins to be directly modified in living cells to confer customized properties. Professor Irene Coyne of the University of Leipzig is a pioneer…
