Compositions and methods of making hybrid polypeptides and other polymers are disclosed. For example, functionalized tRNA having a functional molecule including a benzoic acid or benzoic acid derivative acylated to the 3' nucleotide of a tRNA are provided. Functionalized tRNA having a functional molecule including a malonic acid or malonic acid derivative acylated to the 3' nucleotide of a tRNA are also provided. Methods of using the functionalized tRNA for making compounds including the functional molecule are also provided. The methods typically include providing or expressing a messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the target polypeptide in a translation system including one or more functionalized tRNA wherein each functionalized tRNA recognizes at least one codon such that its functional molecule is incorporated into the polypeptide or other polymer during translation. The incorporation of the functional molecule can occur in vitro in a cell-free translation system, or in vivo in a host cell.
