12. In order to obtain high levels of analog incorporation it is necessary to utilize a host strain which cannot produce Pro (an auxotroph) so that the cells and medium can be depleted of the natural amino acid. Since Dhp does not support the growth of E. coli it is necessary to grow cells first in Pro-containing medium and then induce expression of the target protein in medium containing Dhp.
