Abstract

Preparation of proteins composed entirely of D-amino acids is an elegant approach to assemble completely orthogonal living systems. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Weidmann et al. (2019) demonstrate the chemical synthesis and characterization of mirror image DNA-ligase, which represents an important step for the creation of artificial life. Preparation of proteins composed entirely of D-amino acids is an elegant approach to assemble completely orthogonal living systems. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Weidmann et al. (2019) demonstrate the chemical synthesis and characterization of mirror image DNA-ligase, which represents an important step for the creation of artificial life.
