The metabolic effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on human blood plasma were characterized using multi-platform metabolic phenotyping with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Quantitative mea...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and the incidence of early-onset colon cancer has been increasing globally in recent years. The development of immunotherapies for colon cancer is critical for providing new treatment strategies to combat drug resistanc...
Protein synthesis underpins many biological processes, yet tracking time-dependent proteomic changes remains challenging. Bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) offers a targeted approach for labeling and identifying newly synthesized proteins within defined time windows of interest....
Site-specific incorporation of two noncanonical amino acids for two-color bioorthogonal labeling and chemical-controlled crosslinking of proteins on live mammalian cells
The pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) is widely used to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. However, most of ncAA-containing protein yields remain low due to the limited activity of PylRS variants. Here, we apply machine learning (ML) to engineer the tRNA-binding domain of P...
