Basophilic protein kinases such as PKA recognize arginine or lysine side chains at the P-2 position of a substrate recognition sequence (Zetterqvist & Ragnarsson, 1982).
Our structural analyses also rationalise why glycine is poorly tolerated in the P1 position of a substrate and the corresponding peptidyl-CMK.
With these compounds the total number of substrates available for PylRS N346A/C348A) is increased to nearly 40, which demonstrates that PylRS N346A/C348A) is able to recognize phenylalanine with a substitution at any side-chain aromatic position as a substrate.

Here we reveal that the same enzyme is also able to mediate the genetic incorporation of seven ortho-substituted phenylalanine derivatives, which brings the total substrate availability of this enzyme close to 40 and leads to the conclusion that PylRS N346A/C348A) is able to recognize phenylalanine derivatives with a substitution at any side-chain aromatic position as a substrate.
Compared to nanostructures fabricated by chemical synthesis and self-assembly, those fabricated by nanolithography and thin-film technology offer precise control of the structures' shape, size, and positioning on a substrate.
Similarly, we obtained an accuracy of <1 μm when moving between positions on a substrate.
However, there are still many technical obstacles towards the realization of SWNT-based devicesuchuch as the difficulty of their positioning on a substrate, as well as the lack of control of their chirality, which eventually defines their electronic properties.
For such screening studies, ideally, a library of particles with different size should be immobilized on specific positions of a substrate, such that combinatorial screening of properties under identical conditions is possible.
In the simulations the structures are defined with the dimensions given in Figure 1c, are positioned on a substrate with a constant refractive index of n = 1.5, and for the optical properties of gold we use the data of Johnson and Christy.
2 This mimic, for example, was positioned as a substrate in the P-site of the ribosomal peptidyl transferase center (PTC) to capture snapshots along the route to peptide bond formation, as analyzed by X-ray crystallography.
