Expanding the limits of the second genetic code with ribozymes

Flexizymes have been used to expand the scope of chemical substrates for ribosome-directed polymerization in vitro. Here the authors deduce design rules of Flexizyme-mediated tRNA acylation that more effectively predict the incorporation of new monomers into peptides.
