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.
  • The purpose of sequence optimization in protein engineering is to design and construct new protein sequences with improved functions or properties.
  • Directed evolution is a technique that involves multiple rounds of random mutagenesis to accumulate desired beneficial mutations.
  • Yeast two-hybrid screening is used to screen protein-protein binding interactions and enrich mutational variants.
