Unnatural amino acid mutagenesis in mapping ion channel function.

Curr Opin Neurobiol

Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA.

Published: June 2003

Unnatural amino acid mutagenesis makes possible the site-specific incorporation of synthetic amino acids, enabling detailed structure-function studies as well as the incorporation of biophysical probes. This method has been adapted for use with heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes, allowing experiments on ion channels.
