Microbes can now be designed and engineered for a particular biosynthetic purpose, thanks to recent developments in genome sequencing, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology.
It is a beautiful thing to look at it, regardless of whether the fruit started on the roof or 50 miles away on a farm engineered for the purpose of growing them.
The binding of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) substrates was detected by following changes of the intrinsic fluorescence of the H118G/F60W variant, a mutant protein engineered for that purpose.
Since the components used were not engineered for this purpose, the assembly was a special object of our investigation.
The 8.5-French sheath, though not engineered for that purpose, performed quite well as an alternative catheter.
One unique aspect of GARD, with respect to other proposed models, is that the life-like chemical networks are not a-priori engineered for this specific purpose, but rather spontaneously emerge.
Additionally, if the concept is proved useful then a much smaller and specifically designed tool could be engineered for this purpose.
Synthetic MMP inhibitors, most notably the hydroxymates, have been engineered for this purpose and are presently in clinical trial.
The city's Department of Environmental Protection will pay for most future sites, which will be designed to capture storm-water runoff and, in time, feature wetlands and green roofs engineered for that purpose.
We discuss how microbes capable of degrading them can be isolated, characterised and their relevant enzymes engineered for this purpose and ways to avoid potential side-effects.
Corynebacterium glutamicum is extremely well suited for the production of amino acids, and the way in which the biosynthesis pathways have to be engineered for this purpose is very well understood.
