We here report the construction of an E. coli expression system able to manufacture an unnatural amino acid by artificial biosynthesis. This can be orchestrated with incorporation into protein by amber stop codon suppression inside a living cell. In our case an alkyne-bearing pyrrolysine amino acid was biosynthesized and incorporated site-specifically allowing orthogonal double protein labeling.
