Study Notes
PCR Methods
- Colony PCR is used to rapidly screen colonies grown on selective media to verify the presence of a desired genetic construct or to amplify a portion of the construct.
- Methylation-specific PCR is used to detect genes or sequences with DNA methylation after bisulfite treatment using methylated and unmethylated primers.
- Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis is used to identify the differences in DNA sequence among individuals or populations.
Biotech Industry
- Genentech is considered the leading pharmaceutical in San Francisco.
Metabolic Engineering
- The purpose of metabolic engineering is to design and construct new metabolic pathways or modify existing ones to produce novel compounds or improve existing ones.
Chemical Synthesis
- Retrosynthetic analysis is the process of 'deconstructing' a target molecule into available starting materials.
Protein Engineering
- Chemical modification is used to modify the physicochemical properties, structure, and function of peptides and proteins.
