Given that there is overlap in the enzymes used in the methods of Schramm-Williamson and co-workers65,121−124 and Dayie and co-workers,74,75,128 only the unique enzymes are listed for the latter. All enzymes are commercially available except APRT, UPRT, XGPRT, CTPS, and RK.128 These are currently only available in a few academic laboratories. At some point, these plasmids would be available at Addgene.
