Tag: Protein-Polymers

ScienceDaily (Jan. 25, 2011) Duke University bioengineers have developed a new method for rapidly producing an almost unlimited variety of human-made DNA sequences.

These novel sequences of recombinant DNA are used to produce repetitive proteins to create new types of drugs and bioengineered tissues. Current methods for producing these DNA sequences are slow or not robust, the researchers said, which has hindered the development of these increasingly important new classes of protein-based polymers.
