Description
The part includes the gene coding for the Methanocaldococcus jannaschii synthetase mutated to charge the orthogonal tRNA (also in the part) with the non-canonical amino acid o-nitrobenzyl tyrosine (ONBY) along with the proper promoters and terminator . This part encodes for the incorporation of ONBY during translation at AUG amber stop codons in a cell with Release Factor 1 (RF-1) knocked out such as "Amberless" E. coli or "RF-0".
