Chapter 81 Gene Code Editing Enzymes

Yang Zhou's careful research found that his gene lock technology is equivalent to multiplying the geometry of base pairs countless times.

For example, the cells of a species with only 300 million base pairs have become 1 billion pairs after using gene locks, and the overall structure shows repeated replication.

There are a variety of traps in the duplicated gene fragments, and as long as the traps are modified, the genes will collapse.

When Yang Zhou used YZ bacteria, he used two technologies at the same time, the first was to encrypt the gene lock, and then use a special protein to modify the split gene, which was not found by Yang Zhou.

After all, the number of genes of YZ bacteria is as high as hundreds of millions, and Yang Zhou doesn't know how much time it takes to try one by one among the many genes, which is a function of the system.

After all, the black technology system has trading attributes, if someone else sells the seeds, there is no need to trade, and they crack and develop it themselves, and the trading system is equivalent to being castrated.

This lock, which can be added to any plant seed, will automatically match the corresponding gene, and complicate the geometric multiplication of genes, preventing others from decompiling.

Yang Zhou once asked the system if it was possible to gene-edit the seeds sold by others, and the system replied that it could, but that was when other people did not have gene encryption, and after encryption, Yang Zhou could not edit genes by relying on the system, and the system also had a patent protection mechanism.

After understanding that his technology could not be copied by foreigners, Yang Zhou could rest assured that the YZ gene would be studied by others.

Even when they use it, they have to consult Yang Zhou.

The genes are encrypted, and the genes will collapse if they are touched casually, and how can this be 100% successful in gene editing.

This again involves the issue of reserved interfaces, which is equivalent to a gene that can be modified in YZ bacteria, but this gene is mainly used to replace the genes of other species.

Cas9 gene editing technology is to select special genes, so that Cas9 bacteria have an automatic defense mechanism, and accurately edit the gene fragments of target cells.

The same is true for YZ bacteria, you don't need to study other places, you just need to send the target gene into the YZ bacteria, and then input the YZ bacteria into the target cells, and you can complete the editing.

Fool-like operation, you don't need to know the principle, and you can't figure out the principle, it's simply the perfect gene editor.

Yang Zhou made another major discovery when he was studying YZ bacteria.

He can't wait to run to the toilet and sneak into the mysterious space to check the microcosm of YZ bacteria.

In the end, it was found that the original special protease actually existed in YZ bacteria.

Now you don't have to worry about how to come up with a special protease for precise gene editing, you can use the original YZ bacteria to extract this special protease, and then find a way to program the gene in the real world and modify the species.

Of course, this process is still very complicated, and Yang Zhou has not yet studied it.

With the system, the protease can be modified at will to program the genes at will, but how to achieve it in reality has to go through countless experiments.

He was a little worried that the special protease would be discovered by other scientists, so he hurried back to the laboratory to see if there was any way to find the special protein in the YZ bacteria.

At present, it is very difficult to observe and record the genes of YZ bacteria, and it is necessary to use a lot of instruments, and it is even more impossible to find the special protease that exists in YZ bacteria blessed by the system gene lock.

If he can't find a special protease in YZ bacteria, how can he explain that he has mastered the technology of free gene editing?

If you take out the YZ bacteria that were not encrypted in the original version, how can you explain how the YZ bacteria that were encrypted before appeared?

Yang Zhou found that he seemed to have dug a pit and buried himself.

With a special protease, it is possible to have YZ bacteria modified by gene locks, but with the YZ bacteria modified by encryption, no special protease can be found.

"What a headache! How can this be explained? It's impossible for the YZ bacteria in my stomach to modify the encryption myself, right? Yang Zhou scratched his bald head.

Tang Yue said strangely: "Did Yang Zhou encounter any difficulties in the experiment?" ”

"It's not true, it's just that there's a question I haven't figured out, it's similar to the question of chicken or egg." Yang Zhou shook his head and said.

Tang Yue was puzzled: "Does it matter?" The chicken or the egg comes first, and it doesn't affect the chicken we eat now. ”

"Uh." Yang Zhou was speechless for a moment.

But when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

It doesn't matter if it comes first with chickens or eggs, anyway, he has mastered the genetic programming technology, as long as he keeps it secret and doesn't need to disclose the technical details, even if Principal Hao comes, can he still force him to say that the technical details can't be done.

Just like the current accelerated growth nutrient solution, no one dares to be cheeky enough to ask questions about trade secrets.

In fact, what Yang Zhou didn't know was that Principal Hao Yu still loved his students very much, and many bigwigs wanted to ask Yang Zhou about accelerating the growth of nutrient solution in the name of scientific research.

But at Principal Hao Yu, everything was blocked.

His own students have become like this, and he can't bear to let Yang Zhou face all kinds of pressure.

Anyway, Yang Zhou is already taking students, and Yang Zhou himself knows that he has a terminal illness, and these technologies are the confidential technologies of Oasis Ecological Biology Co., Ltd.

When people die, technology must remain.

Hao Yu believes that Yang Zhou is estimated to pass on all his skills to Tang Yue in the next few months.

And Tang Yue's background is not simple, Yang Zhou needs him to maintain it, if Yang Zhou leaves in the future, Tang Yue will be able to carry it by himself by relying on his family background.

After figuring out the problem of chickens and eggs and ignoring them, Yang Zhou decided to take care of him, and announced that he had discovered a special protein when he had an opportunity, named it a gene code-editing enzyme, and then wrote a paper.

Later, you can edit the genes of the species openly and try to modify specific plants.

It is very simple to obtain special proteins, Yang Zhou can just take them out directly from the mysterious space, and claim to be the materials he obtained from YZ bacteria.

In the real world, even if you have a special protease in your hand, you can't see anything at all.

It's not something that can be seen with the naked eye.

It is only in the mysterious space that the viewing angle is magnified countless times, or the size of a microscopic molecule can be seen in the whole picture of a special protein.

This protease is amazing, it is no longer a simple structure, but a kind of machinery.

There is a very famous bacterium that grows like a machine, and that is the bacteriophage.

The shape of the bacteriophage robot is like that of anyone who looks at it and will sigh at the magic of biological evolution.

Regarding the study of enzymes, human beings also have some achievements.

The 2018 Nobel laureate, Frances H Arnold, won the Nobel Prize for achieving the directed transformation of enzymes, and this scientist Yang Zhou also met at the conference a few days ago.

Also receiving the award were George P Smith and Gregory P Winter for their phage presentation of peptides and antibodies.

In summary, the gene code-editing enzyme that Yang Zhou is about to announce is also the field of their research.

enzymes, the average person may not quite understand what this thing is.

In fact, whether it is flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects, whether they are higher or lower animals and plants, they all need enzymes to maintain life.

Human beings are inseparable from enzymes, and all stages of the metabolic process need to "look at enzymes to quench thirst".

Enzymes are defined as proteins or RNAs produced by living cells that are highly specific and catalytic to their substrates.

In 1926, enzymes were discovered to be proteins, and for this discovery, the beautiful Sumner won a Nobel Prize.

Today, scientists have a total of more than 3,000 enzymes in nature that can fully determine their composition and function.

Now, Yang Zhou is about to discover a new enzyme!

A special enzyme that resembles a precision instrument that enables the programming of DNA at will!

This enzyme will change the whole world.

From now on, the world's science and technology tree will definitely become a biotechnology civilization because of the discovery of this enzyme.
