Abstract
A photocaged Nε-methyl-l-lysine has been genetically incorporated into proteins at amber codon positions in Escherichia coli using an evolved pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-pylT pair. Its genetic incorporation and following photolysis to recover Nε-methyl-l-lysine at physiological pH provide a convenient method for the biosynthesis of proteins with monomethylated lysines at specific sites.
