Toward silk production with UAAs : The strategy for residue‐specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids (UAAs) into proteins was extended to silkworm cells. Here we report the incorporation of p ‐Cl‐Phe into a reporter protein (EGFP) synthesized in silkworm cells that express an αA450G mutant of B. mori phenylalanyl‐tRNA synthetase with relaxed substrate specificity.
