Achievements
Establishment of two orthogonal methods for the detection of unnatural base pairs in a target sequence via Oxford Nanopore sequencing and an enzyme based detection method
Development of a software suite for these orthogonal methods
Integration and characterization of the nucleotide transporter PtNTT2 from P.tricornutum in E.coli for the uptake of unnatural nucleoside triphosphates
Proof that certain Taq-polymerases can efficiently incorporate unnatural nucleotides
Construction of a toolbox consisting of five aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases for incorporation of non-canonical amino acids
Colocalization of the RuBisCo using a fluorescent amino acid
Development of a photoswitchable lycopene pathway
Design, chemical synthesis and proof of functionality of a novel, fully synthetic amino acid based on cyanonitrobenzothiazol and asparagine
Modeling more than ten new aaRS sequences
Library development with several hundred thousand sequences for selecting aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
Construction of positive and negative selection plasmids for the evolution of new synthetases for non-canonical amino acids
Improvement of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase test-system by introducing a FRET-system and development of a ranking system
Construction of an LED panel for irradiating 96-well microtiter plates, which can be used to manipulate non-canonical amino acids and much more
Development of an Android App to control the LED panel with your smartphone via Bluetooth
Writing a biosafety report titled “Auxotrophy to Xeno-DNA: A Comprehensive Exploration of Combinatorial Mechanisms for a High-Fidelity Biosafety System”
Writing the ChImp Report on “Chances and Implications of an Expanded Genetic Code”
