This $1,120,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to explore the boundaries of life's genetic alphabet beyond the natural 4-letter system (A, T, G, C). The research will develop model systems to study the biomolecular properties of a 6-letter genetic alphabet (A, T, G, C, P, Z) and map critical interactions necessary for translation of this expanded genetic code. The project will use synthetic biology and chemical...
