Abstract

(Figure Presented) Playing tag: Noncanonical amino acid tagging enables the selective fluorescent visualization of newly synthesized proteins in mammalian cells (see the picture). Susceptibility to tagging is determined by the spatial and temporal character of the protein synthesis, thus providing a complement to methods which identify relevant members of the proteome.
