Synthetic Biology

4.4K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
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...

Evolution of New Traits in Microbes

197
Microorganisms evolve rapidly due to their large population sizes and short generation times, often exhibiting measurable changes within days under laboratory conditions. Natural selection acts on standing genetic variation, enabling the retention and amplification of beneficial traits that confer fitness advantages in changing environments.Adaptive Pigment Regulation in RhodobacterIn Rhodobacter, a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria, light-harvesting pigments such as bacteriochlorophyll and...

Background:

  • Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies.
  • Genetically modified enzybiotics (GMEs) represent a promising class of engineered proteins designed to overcome resistance mechanisms.
  • Existing literature on GMEs is fragmented, hindering efficient research and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a comprehensive, manually curated database of GMEs.
  • To centralize information on GME design, production, purification, and biological activity.
  • To facilitate researchers' access to GME data for developing new antimicrobial agents.

Main Methods:

  • Manual curation of published literature to identify and extract GME information.
  • Integration of data on GME design strategies, production/purification methods, and biological activity.
  • Development of a user-friendly web-based interface for data retrieval.

Main Results:

  • The GMEnzy database has been established, containing 186 GMEs from published sources.
  • The database includes detailed information on GME characteristics and experimental data.
  • A searchable interface allows for efficient data querying based on specific criteria.

Conclusions:

  • The GMEnzy database provides a valuable, centralized resource for researchers studying GMEs.
