Expanded ribosomal synthesis of non-standard cyclic backbones in vitro

Abstract The ribosome polymerizes L-α-amino acids into polypeptides, catalyzing peptide bond formation through aminolysis. This process is facilitated by entropy trapping within its peptidyl transferase center (PTC). In this research, we harness this capability to synthesize polymers containing cycl...
