Deoxyribonucleic acid recombinant

Biotechnology is being appHed in the dairy industry. A significant and controversial development is the technique of producing transgenic animals, ie, animals in which hereditary deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been augmented by DNA from another source, using recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques. 

Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme ) is a recombinant human (rh) DNase that selectively cleaves extracellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This DNA is released during neutrophil degradation and contributes to the high viscosity of CF sputum. Nebulization of dornase alfa 2.5 mg once or twice daily improves daily pulmonary symptoms and function, reduces pulmonary exacerbations, and improves quality of life.16 N-acetylcysteine and hypertonic saline are other mucolytic agents that are occasionally used however, they are not preferred agents due to a greater incidence of bronchospasm and unpleasant odor and taste.5...

Walsh (2003) defined biopharmaceuticals as therapeutic protein or nucleic acid preparations made by techniques involving recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. Therapeutic proteins include blood clotting factors and plasminogen activators, hemopoietic factors, hormones, interferons and interleukins, and monoclonal antibodies (LeVine, 2006). Over time, the term biopharmaceutical has broadened, and, in addition to proteins and nucleic acids, now includes bacteriophages, viral and bacterial vaccines, vectors for gene therapy, and cells for cell therapy (Primrose and Twyman, 2004). Attention here focuses on proteins, since the majority of approved biopharmaceuticals are proteins.

Recombinant-DNA organism—an organism in which the genetic material has been changed through in vitro nucleic acid techniques, including recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and recombinant ribonucleic acid (RNA) and direct injection of nucleic acid into cells and organelles. 

Fundamental knowledge of the structure, function and mechanism of DNA-modifying enzymes has been important not only in understanding how these enzymes perform a myriad of chemical reactions Ml vZvo but also for the development of the field of recombinant DNA technology. The functions of the major groups of enzymes in deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, hydrolysis and modification are reviewed, as well as some structural and mechanistic aspects of the restriction endonucleases, ligases and polymerases. 

Information concerning the method of manufacture may be presented in the form of a flow chart. Supply a brief description of the methods of isolation (e.g., synthetic process, fermentation, extraction, recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] procedure) and purification (solvent recrystallization, column chromatography, distillation). Include all synthetic pathways that have been adequately characterized during the investigational stages of drug development. 

The development of recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology has allowed the emergence of novel applications such as drug production directly in the...
