Cellular encoding of Cy dyes for single-molecule imaging

Cellular encoding of Cy dyes for single-molecule imaging

A general method is described for the site-specific genetic encoding of cyanine dyes as non-canonical amino acids (Cy-ncAAs) into proteins. The approach relies on an improved technique for nonsense suppression with in vitro misacylated orthogonal tRNA. The data show that Cy-ncAAs (based on Cy3 and C...
