Question

we transform bacteria to make medically useful human proteins such as insulin and growth hormone. explain how the experiment we did could be modified so that we could transform e coli cells to manufacture huge quanties of human insulin molecules. this is a two part wuestion

Answer 1

We basically make a plasmid molecule and insert our gene which codes for our protein of interest that maybe insulin and then transform it into the ecoli bacteria and culture these bacterias to as they are multiplied in large quantities and very easily in ashort period of time our gene of interst also gets multiplied and many copies are generated which can then be isolated for different applications.Large quantities can be provide by providing favourable conditions and nutrients for the growth of the E coli molecules.
