We have changed the amino acid set of the genetic code of Escherichia coli by evolving cultures capable of growing on the synthetic noncanonical amino acid L-β-(thieno[3,2-b]pyrrolyl)alanine ([3,2]Tpa) as a sole surrogate for the canonical amino acid L-tryptophan (Trp). A long-term cultivation experiment in defined synthetic media resulted in the evolution of cells capable of surviving Trp→[3,2]Tpa substitutions in their proteomes in response to the 20 899 TGG codons of the E. coli W3110 genome. These evolved bacteria with new-to-nature amino acid composition showed robust growth in the complete absence of Trp. Our experimental results illustrate an approach for the evolution of synthetic cells with alternative biochemical building blocks.

(Figure Presented) A thienopyrrole oligomer conjoined to DNA was prepared by means of a templated synthesis protocol. The oligomer was formed by reaction, initiated with HRP/H2O2, of thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole monomers attached to cytosine bases. The thienopyrrole oligomer was characterized spectroscopically.

Two series of novel thienopyrrole inhibitors of recombinant human liver glycogen phosphorylase a (GPa) which are effective in reducing glucose output from rat hepatocytes are described. Representative compounds have been shown to bind at the dimer interface site of the rabbit muscle enzyme by X-ray crystallography.
