Industrial Synthesis
Today many important protein drugs (e.g. growth hormone, erythropoetin, insulin) are produced in living cells. To facilitate easy purification, the proteins are provided with a signal peptide causing them to be secreted out of the cell. For scale-up production, cells are grown in bioreactors.

Protein synthesis
How do newly synthesized proteins find their correct destinations within a cell, and how are they able to pass across the tightly sealed intracellular membranes? These were the central questions that Günter Blobel began to address in the late 1960s. He started by analyzing how newly synthesized secretory proteins are first targeted to and then…

A chromosome having the standard sequence of regions labelled 1 to 7, inclusive, is shown on the left. If a segment labelled 2 and 3 becomes inverted then the new configuration shown on the right is called an inversion. When the standard and inverted chromosomes pair with one another the result is a chromosome loop…
