Quantifying the fragility of coral reefs to hurricane impacts: a case study of the Florida Keys and Puerto Rico

Ecosystems like coral reefs mitigate rising coastal flood risks, but investments into their conservation remain low relative to the investments into engineered risk-mitigation structures.One reason is that quantifying the risk-reduction benefits of coral reefs requires an estimate of their fragility to severe stresses.Engineered structures typicall

In-frame amber stop codon replacement mutagenesis for the directed evolution of proteins containing non-canonical amino acids: identification of residues open to bio-orthogonal modification.

Expanded genetic code approaches are a powerful means to add new and useful chemistry to proteins at defined residues positions.One such use is the introduction of non-biological reactive chemical handles for site-specific biocompatible orthogonal conjugation of proteins.Due to our currently limited information on the impact of non-canonical amino
