Genetic engineering purpose

Besides the classical photothermoplasts, LC side-chain polymers with distinct phase changes also are well suited for holographic purposes, and biopolymers from genetically engineered bacteriorhodopsine (BR) have been discussed as a holographic material. 

Biomedical Applications. TRIS AMINO is used for a number of purposes in its pure form, it is an acidimetric standard the USP grade can be utilized intraveneously for therapeutic control of blood acidosis TRIS AMINO also is useful in genetic engineering as a buffering agent for enzyme systems, industrial protein purification, and electrophoresis. AMP has found use as a reagent in enzyme-linked immunoassays. The primary appHcation is for alkaline phosphatase assays. 

Genetic engineering procedures are becoming more and more important in medicine for diagnostic purposes (A-C). New genetic approaches to the treatment of severe diseases are still in the developmental stage ( gene therapy, D). 

Erythropoietin release is stimulated by hypoxia (low PO2). Within hours, the hormone ensures that erythrocyte precursor cells in the bone marrow are converted to erythrocytes, so that their numbers in the blood increase. Renal damage leads to reduced erythropoietin release, which in turn results in anemia. Forms of anemia with renal causes can now be successfully treated using erythropoietin produced by genetic engineering techniques. The hormone is also administered to dialysis patients. Among athletes and sports professionals, there have been repeated cases of erythropoietin being misused for doping purposes. 

Enhancing the overall resistivity of the body is observed upon treatment with a number of known drugs immunostimulants (caffeine, phenamine, methyluracil), vitamins (retinol, ascorbic acid, vitamins of group B), nucleic acid derivatives, and also drugs of natural or genetically engineered origin made specifically for this purpose. 

As it was mentioned, crops may be genetically engineered for weed management purposes by making them more resistant to herbicides or by improving their ability to... 

Since cell and filopod movement depends on the chemical environment of the cell, a pore-impedance device could function as a chemosensor for substances of medical and pharmacological importance, especially if the cells themselves have been genetically engineered for the purpose. Another use of such a device would be the study of cell-cell interactions as different kinds of cell could be separated by the membrane and allowed to interact through the pore.
