The protein no longer terminates here . Non‐natural amino acids were attached onto a tRNA and were then transferred with the aid of L/F‐tRNA‐protein transferase to the N termini of proteins possessing N‐terminal Lys or Arg components. By this new technique, 1‐ and 2‐naphthylalanine or 3‐nitrotyrosine were coupled to the N termini of several proteins. A novel and convenient method for adding single Lys units at the N termini of various proteins was also developed.
