Kamal Nahas highlights the biological limits on cell division speed and explores how we might engineer cells to grow faster. However, they plod along as they clone plasmids—the loops of DNA that biologists use to manipulate and study organisms—because propagating them relies, in part, on the pace at which cells grow and divide.

That’s because proteins are made, in the laboratory, using synthetic DNA and cells; and DNA is expensive. Our machine would make proteins without using any DNA or cells. All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein.

Molecular biology, as the field came to be called 3 , pushed biology from an object of study, driven forward by gentleman scientists and precocious country clergymen, into a tool with which to solve urgent problems. Recombinant DNA technologies were invented in the 1970s. Steelman: Biotechnology is not a panacea.

These papers became the standard-bearers for a new scientific field: synthetic biology. In other words, they could “program biology.”

Regulated cleavage is central to some of the most important signalling cascades in biology, such as blood coagulation and complement activation. In one study, ProQuant has been used to study an engineered protein that was intended to be cleaved in two different places, one yielding activation and then at a second site to deactivate it.
