Abstract

L-Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase mutants, a process for the preparation thereof and the use thereof for the in vivo incorporation of non-proteinogenous amino acids into peptides or proteins. The invention relates to L-phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases from microorganisms which, by reason of a modification generated by genetic engineering, have an altered substrate selectivity, and to their preparation and use for the in vivo incorporation of non-proteinogenous amino acids into peptides or proteins.
