The Global Transcriptional Regulators
Global transcriptional regulators are high-level regulatory proteins (usually transcription factors) that control the expression of large sets of genes across multiple pathways. Instead of regulating […]
Monoliths as Adsorbents in Chromatography
Chromatography is one of the most important analytical and preparative techniques in chemistry, biotechnology, and materials science. Traditionally, chromatographic separations rely on packed beds of […]
The Manufacture of Lactoferrin
The manufacture and purification of lactoferrin (LF), a multifunctional iron-binding glycoprotein primarily found in milk, involves several carefully controlled steps to ensure purity, bioactivity, and […]
Deep Learning for Sequence-to-Expression Models in Strain Optimization
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers i.e. deep neural networks, to learn complex patterns from large […]
Spider Silk Proteins Through Precision Fermentation
Spider silk proteins are truly fascinating, and they represent a cutting-edge development in biomaterials and sustainability. Here’s everything you need to know about them: What […]
Gene Duplication
Gene duplication is a significant evolutionary event where a segment of DNA, including one or more genes, is copied and inserted into the genome. This […]
Medical Devices
What Counts as a Medical Device A medical device is broadly defined as any instrument, apparatus, implant, software, material, or other article intended by the […]
Baculoviruses in Biotechnology
Baculoviruses, a family of large DNA viruses primarily infecting insects, have emerged as valuable tools in biotechnology with diverse applications. Among these, the Autographa californica […]
The Role of Digital Twins in Biotechnology
Digital twins in biotechnology refer to virtual replicas or models of biological entities, systems, or processes that are created using digital technologies. They are a […]
Plasmids – Essential In Biotechnology
Plasmids are one of the most important factors in the success of biotechnology. The word plasmid was introduced by Joshua Lederberg in 1952 as the […]
The Role of Post-Translational Modification in Protein Expression
Post-translational modification (PTMs) refers to a host of chemical modifications that occur on proteins after they have been synthesized from the ribosome. These modifications play […]
The Value of Aptamers
Aptamers, often referred to as “chemical antibodies,” are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that can bind to specific target molecules with high affinity and […]
DNA Kinases
DNA kinases are enzymes that play crucial roles in the regulation of DNA-related processes by adding phosphate groups to specific substrates. This phosphorylation can alter […]
The Rop Protein
The Rop (Repressor of Primer) protein is a small, homodimeric protein found in bacteria, particularly in Escherichia coli. It plays a crucial role in the […]
