Patrick Gildea's Project 1

• I will be presenting a paper on Jay D. Keasling's research on the production of the antimalarial drug precursor

artemisinic acid in engineered yeast.

• This is the specific article that I will be referring to in the presentation:
  • [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v440/n7086/pdf/nature04640.pdf "Production of the antimalarial drug precursor

artemisinic acid in engineered yeast"]

• (For my fellow team-mates)A very helpful primer on metabolic engineering is available here that is written by the same guy (Keasling) who did the work on Artemisinin, etc.
