Summary:It's only unnatural: Reengineered genetic codes can achieve biocontainment by specifying different meanings for protein sequences in modified versus natural organisms; the synthetic bacterium discussed here is dependent on unnatural amino acids because its reengineered genetic code specifies unnatural amino acids in essential genes.
