Nevertheless, in recent years several artificial base pairs have been developed in attempts to expand the genetic code. Employment of these additional base pairs increases the information capacity and variety of DNA sequences, and provides a platform for the site-specific, enzymatic incorporation of extra functional components into DNA and RNA. As a result, of the development of such expanded systems, many artificial base pairs have been synthesized and tested under various conditions. Following many stages of enhancement, unnatural base pairs have been modified to eliminate their weak points, qualifying them for specific research needs. Moreover, the first attempts to create a semi-synthetic organism containing DNA with unnatural base pairs seem to have been successful. This further extends the possible applications of these kinds of pairs. Herein, we describe the most significant qualities of unnatural base pairs and their actual applications."}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2020-08-19T00:00:00Z","issue":"4","month":"08","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2023-08-22T09:01:03Z","type":"journal_article","day":"19","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Expanding the genetic code: Unnatural base pairs in biological systems","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"original","id":"8321","status":"public"}]},"status":"public","publisher":"Springer Nature","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"None","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_created":"2020-08-30T22:01:11Z"}
