From Gene to Protein: The Journey of Protein Expression Technology

Roots Analysis

Protein expression is a potent technology in the field of synthetic biology, that is utilized for the high-throughput production of proteins as well as enzymes and oligonucleotides (DNA / RNA). This process initially involves transcription of DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is then translated into to form functional proteins.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.
