AcdK

SKU: orb3211215

Description

AcdK is a non-natural amino acid and a precursor of allysine. It can be site-specifically incorporated into target proteins in Escherichia coli using an amber codon suppression strategy. AcdK enables site-specific lysine dimethylation or monomethylation modifications of target proteins. It can synthesize site-specific lysine-methylated variants of histone H3 and p53, which are useful for studying the substrate specificity and catalytic functions of epigenetic enzymes.
