Human α-Galactosidase-A production in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract: Many people struggle with genetic disorders that limit their ability to function as normal human beings. Although there are no true cures, some genetic disorders are treatable and manageable. One such example is Fabry disorder or Fabry's Disease, which can be treated by giving patients regular enzyme infusions of the deficient enzyme. This rehabilitation process is … Continue reading Human α-Galactosidase-A production in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Production of Curculin (Neoculin – a taste-modifying protein) through genetic egineering

Abstract: Curculin is a natural protein produced exclusively in the fruit of Curculigo latifolia, a plant that is native to Western Malaysia. The protein exhibits taste modification properties that are similar to those of Miraculin, a well-known taste modifying protein. However it is the only natural protein in the world that exhibits both sweet tasting and … Continue reading Production of Curculin (Neoculin – a taste-modifying protein) through genetic egineering
