Abstract
2-Amino-8-oxononanoic acid has been genetically incorporated into proteins in Escherichia coli by the use of an evolved pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/pylT pair. The direct usage of the exclusive reactivity of the keto group in this amino acid with hydrazide- and alkoxyamine-bearing compounds to site-specifically label proteins under a mild condition close to physiological pH exhibited a very high efficiency.
