Supercharging enables organized assembly of synthetic biomolecules

The paper describes a method to assemble synthetic protein oligomers and higher-order structures using supercharged variants of fluorescent proteins, resulting in novel biomaterials.

Evolving Bacterial Fitness with an Expanded Genetic Code

This study evolves bacteria to use a 21 amino acid genetic code by incorporating an ambiguous amber codon encoding either 3-nitro-L-tyrosine or stop, revealing transitional intermediates in genetic code expansion.
