Directed evolution of the fluorescent protein CGP with in situ biosynthesized noncanonical amino acids.

for protein engineering and enzyme evolution could facilitate their application and reduce costs. Here, we attempted to evolve the fluorescent consensus green protein (CGP) with biosynthesized ncAAs. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of using biosynthesized ncAAs in protein engineering, which could further stimulate the application of ncAAs in bioengineering and biomedicine.
