Terrà un seminario dal titolo:

 

 

“Reprogramming the Genetic Code”

 

 

Abstract:

The information for synthesizing the molecules that allow organisms to
survive and replicate is encoded in genomic DNA. In the cell, DNA is copied
to messenger RNA, and triplet codons (64) in the messenger RNA are decoded -
in the process of translation - to synthesize polymers of the natural 20
amino acids. This process (DNA RNA protein) describes the central dogma of
molecular biology and is conserved in terrestrial life. We are interested in
re-writing the central dogma to create organisms that synthesize proteins
containing unnatural amino acids and polymers composed of monomer building
blocks beyond the 20 natural amino acids. I will discuss our invention and
synthetic evolution of new 'orthogonal' translational components (including
ribosomes and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases) to address the major challenges in
re-writing the central dogma of biology. I will discuss the application of
the approaches we have developed for incorporating unnatural amino acids
into proteins and investigating and synthetically controlling diverse
biological processes, with a particular emphasis on understanding the role
of post-translational modifications.
