Résumé

Enzyme design and engineering strategies rely almost exclusively on nature's alphabet of twenty canonical amino acids. Recent years have seen the emergence of powerful genetic code expansion methods that allow hundreds of structurally diverse amino acids to be installed into proteins in a site-selective manner. Here, we will highlight how the availability of an expanded alphabet of amino acids has opened new avenues in enzyme engineering research. Genetically encoded noncanonical amino acids have provided new tools to probe complex enzyme mechanisms, improve biocatalyst activity and stability, and most ambitiously to design enzymes with new catalytic mechanisms that would be difficult to access within the constraints of the genetic code. We anticipate that the studies highlighted in this article, coupled with the continuing advancements in genetic code expansion technology, will promote the widespread use of noncanonical amino acids in biocatalysis research in the coming years.
