OR genes

Peptoids have also shown great utility in their ability to complex with and deliver nucleic acids to cells, a critical step toward the development of antisense drugs, DNA vaccines, or gene-based therapeutics. Most non-viral nucleic acid delivery systems are based on cationic molecules that can form complexes with the polyan-... 

From purified receptor protein, obtain partial amino-acid sequence information which will allow molecular biologists to isolate the gene (or genes) coding for the receptor.

Biolistics involves bombarding plant cells with tiny (4- am) microprojectiles made of gold or tungsten. These microprojectiles are coated with DNA and are propelled at high velocity from a particle gun or gene gun into plant tissue or cells. In this method, the projectile penetrates the cell wall and carries the transgene into the cell nucleus.
