Engineering Cells to Produce Proteins

Synthetic biology is a bioengineering method for programming cells to make useful products. In many cases, the goal is to genetically modify an organism so it can produce large amounts of a protein. That protein may already be made by the cell, or it may come from a newly inserted DNA sequence.

Synthetic biology is a field that combines biology and engineering to create or redesign biological entities, organisms, or pathways.?The idea is similar to chemical synthesis in chemistry where well known reactions are used to synthesize new chemical compounds. The end goal can vary from the creation of new biological drug molecules to the modi...
