  2. Protein biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_biosynthesis

    The tertiary structure is the proteins overall 3D structure which is made of different secondary structures folding together. In the tertiary structure, key protein features e.g. the active site, are folded and formed enabling the protein to function. Finally, some proteins may adopt a complex quaternary structure. Most proteins are made of a ...

  3. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary field of science that focuses on living systems and organisms, and it applies engineering principles to develop new biological parts, devices, and systems or to redesign existing systems found in nature.

  4. Protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein

    The words protein, polypeptide, and peptide are a little ambiguous and can overlap in meaning. Protein is generally used to refer to the complete biological molecule in a stable conformation, whereas peptide is generally reserved for a short amino acid oligomers often lacking a stable 3D structure. But the boundary between the two is not well ...

  5. Synthetic biological circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biological_circuit

    Synthetic biological circuits are an application of synthetic biology where biological parts inside a cell are designed to perform logical functions mimicking those observed in electronic circuits. Typically, these circuits are categorized as either genetic circuits , RNA circuits , or protein circuits , depending on the types of biomolecule ...

  6. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    This article needs attention from an expert in biochemistry.The specific problem is: someone with a solid grasp of the full scope of this subject and of its secondary and advanced teaching literatures needs to address A, the clear structural issues of the article (e.g., general absence of catabolic biosynthetic pathways, insertion of macromolecule anabolic paths before all building blocks ...

  7. Peptide synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_synthesis

    The established method for the production of synthetic peptides in the lab is known as solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). [2] Pioneered by Robert Bruce Merrifield , [ 4 ] [ 5 ] SPPS allows the rapid assembly of a peptide chain through successive reactions of amino acid derivatives on a macroscopically insoluble solvent-swollen beaded resin ...

  8. Biomolecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecule

    Modified amino acids are sometimes observed in proteins; this is usually the result of enzymatic modification after translation (protein synthesis). For example, phosphorylation of serine by kinases and dephosphorylation by phosphatases is an important control mechanism in the cell cycle .

  9. Artificial gene synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gene_synthesis

    Artificial gene synthesis, or simply gene synthesis, refers to a group of methods that are used in synthetic biology to construct and assemble genes from nucleotides de novo. Unlike DNA synthesis in living cells, artificial gene synthesis does not require template DNA, allowing virtually any DNA sequence to be synthesized in the laboratory.
