Abstract:
Synthetic genes coding for artificial proteins with predefined and nutritionally valuable amino acid compositions have been constructed and cloned in bacterial plasmid vector pKK233-2. The genes were constructed from three easily interchangeable 'cassettes' encoding either essential, non-essential or branched-chain amino acid residues. A potential hairpin loop structure in the mRNA around the region of the ribosome binding site was probably the reason for blockage of translation from this vector. Two selected genes, AHB (containing one copy of each cassette) and A6 (consisting of six copies concatemerized A cassette) were cloned into pUR300, a beta-Gal fusion vector and expressed as fusion proteins beta-Gal-AHB and beta-Gal-A6.

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...
