title: Enzymatic N-methylaminoacylation of tRNA using chemically misacylated AMP as a substrate.
abstract: Using "chemically misacylated AMP" which is photogeneratable, tRNA can be enzymatically acylated with N-methylamino acids in an efficiency comparable to that of the corresponding natural aminoacylation process with amino acids.
