Abstract
D-Lysine has been genetically introduced into diketoreductase in E. coli cells by utilization of an orthogonal Ph tRNA /Lysyl-tRNA synthetase pair. This is the first report on the genetic incoporation of D-amino acids into proteins, which may be generally applicable to a wide variety of applications.
