Chapter 360: Biological Cell Factory

Seeing that the synthesizer has been activated, it may take a long time to get results.

Zhang Zhi and the others all sat next to them and rested, waiting for the synthesizer to give the final result.

This instrument aroused Li Lingqiu's curiosity, and she entered the scientific research management interface of the company's management space.

Find detailed data for this synthesizer. In particular, how it works.

It is divided into two parts, the most important being the part of the synthesis of genetic material.

The synthesizer obtains the base pair sequencing of the DNA, and the nanobots in the Xinglan control instrument synthesize the single-stranded DNA.

This is a specially made nanobot specifically for gene synthesis. They all carry various biological enzymes for biochemical reactions.

After the synthesis of single-stranded DNA, it is under the action of DNA transcriptase. Synthesize the corresponding other piece of DNA.

The two D's form a double helix structure, which then gives them the beginning of transcription. Plus the single-stranded tag of the DNA that provided the template. The start zone and end zone of transcription.

Finally, let them form a ring-shaped, stable structure.

A piece of DNA that can exist stably in nature is made.

The other part is the synthesis of proteins.

In the previous part, the expressible DNA is transcribed into a single-stranded RNA by the action of RNA transcriptase.

Put the RNA into this instrument,

There are more than 30,000 ribosomes here, which are screened out, the ribosomes with the lowest survival requirements, and they are also very efficient.

It can synthesize a polypeptide chain according to the base information of RNA.

Under the action of biological enzymes and nanobots. Synthesis of a biologically active protein.

After Li Lingqiu read it, he admired it very much, the company's scientific and technological workers.

With this synthesizer, it will be much easier to study life science topics in the future.

"It's in. Ding Ling shouted excitedly, attracting everyone's attention.

The light curtain also shows the appearance of a newly manufactured photosynthesis.

Under an electron microscope millions of times, it looks like it comes to life.

It resembles a large spindle, large on both sides and small in the middle. It is encased in a biofilm on the outside of the body, on which there are protein channels and protrusions.

Li Lingqiu showed a look of surprise, and Zhang Zhi felt that this was a bit magical.

Ding Ling and Lin Congshan, they are not surprised, they have expressed other proteins many times.

Lin Congshan saw that the instrument had successfully synthesized photosynthesis. He turned around and went to prepare the solution for the experiment for a while.

Ding Ling sighed and said: "I don't know if this photosynthesis has the effect that Manager Li said."

I've never heard of a cell structure that can be band in animal cells that is stable and has photosynthesis. ”

Li Lingqiu said confidently: "Wait a while, you put this photosynthetic gene all the way into the animal cells, and you will know that what I said is true." ”

Lin Congshan brought the experimental tools and solution, and he said: "Can this photosynthesis convert aDP into atP, if it can be successful." We will open a new page in biotechnology. ”

Zhang Zhi saw the three of them operating, and as a common sense thing, he knew what atP was.

The scientific name of atP is adenine nucleoside triphosphate, abbreviated as adenosine triphosphate.

It is an unstable high-energy compound consisting of 1 molecule of adenine, 1 molecule of ribose sugar, and 3 molecules of phosphate groups. Also known as adenosine triphosphate.

Almost all living things, the energy they need to move, is directly provided by atP.

It contains high-energy phosphate bonds. After hydrolysis, it provides a large amount of energy that can be directly used by living organisms.

After the DP absorbs the energy, it synthesizes atP. They are recycled in living organisms.

atP is produced through photosynthesis and respiration in all cells.

The essence of photosynthesis is to store light energy directly through chemical energy. for biological use.

Lin Congshan shook the small bottle in his hand and said, "This is aDP and phosphate groups. There is not a single atP.

As long as the presence of adenosine triphosphate is detected in the experiment, we can prove that this photosynthetic is really working. ”

They turn on the synthesizer, extract a large amount of photosynthesis from it, and put it into the reaction vessel.

And illuminate them with an appropriate light source and complete all the preparations. Everyone waited for the results of the experiment.

The moment of waiting is anxious, but the result of waiting is gratifying.

The speed of photosynthesis is fast, and the detection of the sensor is also sensitive.

Soon in the solution, the presence of adenosine triphosphate was detected.

They all showed a look of joy on their faces, and Lin Congshan said in disbelief: "This is amazing, it's really amazing." ”

Ding Ling said in surprise: "There are many miracles in the biological world, and our knowledge is still too short-sighted. I thought that the other day I had designed a life that would only be a few million base pairs long.

That's enough for me to be happy, I didn't expect to encounter photosynthesis, such a magical biological structure. ”

Li Lingqiu repeatedly checked the experimental data several times, and she said: "This photosynthesis, although it cannot be like chloroplasts, it can only synthesize adenosine triphosphate.

It is not possible to produce substances such as sucrose like chloroplasts.

But it's also amazing enough, and the most crucial thing is that it can exist in animal cells. Chloroplasts, on the other hand, cannot be implanted into animal cells. ”

Zhang Zhi saw that they had finished the experiment, and he stepped forward.

"We just talked so much about the use of this photosynthesis. Now it's time to choose a cell and experiment to see if it can survive in the open cell. ”

Ding Ling said embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhang, what we just talked about is the application method of photosynthesis.

It's a vision of a plan for the future, and it's not yet officially available. It mainly targets animal cells, and higher animals in general have an immune system in their bodies.

Photosynthesis, an abnormal substance, is removed by the immune system outside the cell. Directly inside the cell, lysosomes are triggered, clearing the entire cell. Unless the means of using viruses. ”

Zhang Zhi frowned and said: "Then you can talk about the animals that implant photosynthetic bodies in the epidermal cells of pigs, cattle and sheep, and grow meat just by basking in the sun."

These amazing creatures that only drink water and don't eat are not possible now. ”

Li Lingqiu said with a sigh: "Every time a new thing comes out, we have to give him time to develop." ”

"I think of a cell that is perfectly adapted to photosynthesis. Lin Congshan said suddenly.

Seeing the inquiring eyes of the crowd, he said what he had planned.

"The cell I'm talking about is cancer cells, and we can extract cancer cells from mice.

This DNA is then sent into the cancer cells.

Cancer cells have the property of multiplying indefinitely, and they have a smooth surface and are bulky. own lysosomes, no longer functioning.

We now use it to produce most of our antibodies and bioassays. For example, our common pregnancy test stick is achieved by this technology.

We can completely transform cancer cells into a biological cell factory.

After it is added to the photosynthesis, as long as there is a light source and basic raw materials are added, it will be produced continuously. ”

Zhang Zhi praised: "This method is very good, it is low-cost, and the technology is not complicated. ”

"Don't limit yourself to animal cells, bacteria and fungi, and plant cells. Perhaps after the implantation of the photosynthesis, even greater changes will occur. ”

Hearing his words, Ding Ling and Lin Congshan did not fluctuate, and their faces were very entangled.
