Unnatural amino acid incorporation into ion channels has proven to be a valuable approach to interrogate detailed hypotheses arising from atomic resolution structures. In this short review, we provide a brief overview of some of the basic principles and methods for incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins. We also review insights into the function and pharmacology of voltage-gated ion channels that have emerged from unnatural amino acid mutagenesis approaches.
将非天然氨基酸掺入离子通道已被证明是一种用于探究源自原子分辨率结构的详细假设的宝贵方法。在这篇简短的综述中,我们简要概述了将非天然氨基酸掺入蛋白质的一些基本原理和方法。我们还回顾了从非天然氨基酸诱变方法中获得的关于电压门控离子通道功能和药理学的见解。
