Abstract:
In many developed countries, isolation of human pharmaceutical proteins from milk of genetically modified animals is currently a priority. One of the first commercial pharmaceuticals obtained from the milk of transgenic goats, an anticoagulant antithrombin III, developed by Genzyme Transgenic Corporation, an American biotechnological company, will appear on the pharmaceutical market in the nearest future. In this review, we discuss the role of fundamental science in the development of this field of the pharmaceutical industry.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
