TRANSLATION AND SYNTHESIS OF POLYPEPTIDE HAVING NONNATIVE STRUCTURE AT N-TERMINUS AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention aims to synthesize a polypeptide having an unnatural structure at the N-terminus via a biosynthetic process by translation of amino acid sequence information encoded by a nucleic acid. A polypeptide having any amino acid at the N-terminus is synthesized by using an ARS ribozyme that catalyzes the acylation of tRNA with any amino acid to attach any amino acid to an initiator tRNA, thereby initiating a translation with the initiator tRNA.
