Gene engineering

Gene engineering is the basis of gene therapy where genes are removed, replaced, or altered producing new proteins for the treatment of diseases such as muscular dystrophy, some cancers, adenosine deaminase deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema.

Biological properties ability to migrate into biological cells, biosensors, prosthetics, drug delivery, medical nanodevices, application in gene engineering. 

It might be noted that these topics are not just confined to products on the market and in the pharmacopoeia. For example, there are only a few products currently available derived from biotechnology or from gene engineering on the market place or being the subject of a compendial monograph and yet the future needs are anticipated. This is an impressive achievement, especially when one considers that each chapter has the potential to be updated every year, thereby avoiding obsolescent information. 

This review will not include immunological approaches to therapy, nor will it include any discussion of gene engineering, or the potential use of anti-sense oligonucleotides.

This section will describe a robust method for engineering a binding protein of interest using yeast surface display technology. Similar methods for gene engineering via yeast display have been reported (9, 31, 32), and slight variations may be used for particular applications to attain optimal results. 

L-Threonine is produced by some auxotrophic mutants and/or threonine-analog resistant mutants and those bred by gene engineering techniques. The bacteria are Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium lactofermentum, B.flavum, Serratia marcescens, and Proteus retgerii.
