Continuous directed evolution of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to alter amino acid specificity and enhance activity
DESCRIPTION Functions of various biotherapeutics can often be enhanced by modifying individual amino acid residues. However, the current approaches rely on existing natural amino acid chemistry. Approaches that provide new chemical “handles” will…

Intracellular delivery of proteins: Aurin 1.2, an efficient non-endosomal protein delivery platform
To fully realize the therapeutic potential of proteins, exogenous proteins need to access intracellular targets. Since the vast majority of proteins cannot spontaneously cross cell membranes, a range of delivery platforms have been developed. These…
