  • New method ramps up protein production by thousandfold

    New method ramps up protein production by thousandfold

    Dec 20, 2019, 11:55 AM IST

    Researchers have discovered a method to supercharge protein production up to a thousandfold, an advance that may drive down costs of protein-based drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics. Proteins are made of long chains of building block molecules called amino acids, and the process of producing them for medical or commercial applications can be complex, expensive, and time-consuming.Protein-based medicines such as insulin are synthesised by turning engineered bacteria into tiny protein-making factories, the scientists, including Indian-origin researcher Manasvi Verma from Washington University in the US, said.
