- Bioengineering novel in vitro metabolic pathways using synthetic biology
- Okay so i read this article but i constantly had to reread sections because i was missing the point. I believe it was about how to create new enzymes in cells, but i really wasn't sure how it was relevant to us or how the methods they were using were relevant to us, so the article seemed a bit dense to me and to be honest i didnt really get much out of it, sorry George.
- Synthetic biology for synthetic chemistry
- This articles is a very good all encompassing crash course to how one would start a Igem project. Each important piece of a synthetic bio cell is defined and explained to best be setup for a cell meant to be harnessed for synthetic biology. The insight on factors that could destroy a project especially through differing metabolic rates seems useful. other explanations were also useful such as why synth bio parts have been mutated to be a bare bones chassis that will readily take up plasmid vectors and evolutionary abilities of the cell have been disabled such as to not evolve away from containing the plasmid.
