Macromolecules recombinant gene techniques

After nearly two decades of activity, innovations in biotechnology and recombinant gene techniques have led to an increase in the approved use of many macromol-ecule drugs. In recent years, at least 30 macromolecule... 

Rapid developments in preparation of crystals of macromolecules and in experimental techniques for structure analysis and refinement have led to a revolution in structural biology. These factors have contributed significantly to an enormous increase in the number of laboratories performing structural studies of macromolecules to atomic resolution and the number of such studies per lab. Advances include (1) recombinant DNA techniques that permit almost any protein or nucleic acid to be produced in large amounts (2) rapid protein and DNA (gene) sequencing techniques that have made protein sequencing routine (3) better X-ray detectors ...
