J Am Chem Soc. 124:2002;9972-9973 The authors demonstrate for the first time that nonsense suppression and mRNA display can be united. An acylated amber suppressor tRNA is used to incorporate the unnatural amino acid biocytin in an mRNA display library and streptavidin purification is used to select for the presence of the unnatural residue with high efficiency.

45. Frankel A., Roberts R.W. In vitro selection for sense codon suppression. RNA. 9:2003;780-786 This work uses mRNA display to select sense codons that can be easily suppressed. In standard reticulocyte lysate extracts, sense codon suppression is found to occur predominantly at a GUA valine codon with equal efficiency to UAG-mediated nonsense suppression. The authors go on to show that sense suppression can occur at arbitrarily chosen codons with equal efficiency if the tRNA concentration is controlled.

Nat Biotechnol. 19:2001;751-755 The authors describe a fully reconstituted E. coli translation system from purified components. This system or similar systems will be important in creating unnatural RNA display libraries. Omission of release factor 1 results in efficient unnatural amino acid incorporation into nascent polypeptides.

J Am Chem Soc. 125:2003;8090-8091 This paper demonstrates that the stereoselectivity of the eukaryotic ribosome depends on the size and nature of the pendant sidechain. Interestingly, some unnatural enantiomers (e.g. [D] O-methyltyrosine) are found to be more efficiently incorporated than natural [L] residues. Incorporation of β-amino acids is also demonstrated.
