The invention relates to a non-canonical amino acid of the formula I, namely A - L - X, A is a lysine or a tyrosine, L is a linker or absent, and X is an aminoxyl radical, and if A is lysine, L is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine; and if A is tyrosine, L is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine. Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for introducing a spin label into a protein and to a modified pyrrolysyl-tRNA-synthetase.
该发明涉及一种非规范
