Description of Research Group:Synthetic biology is a biological research hotspot emerging in the early 21st century. It is a comprehensive discipline that achieves artificial design and construction of new biological systems with specific physiological functions on the basis of clarifying and simulating the basic laws of biosynthesis. It has broad application prospects, such as medicine, pharmacy, chemical industry, energy, materials, agriculture, and other fields. Bio-intelligence is the use of artificially modified microbial cells or enzyme proteins as catalysts for controllable chemical synthesis, or controllable conversion of biomass as raw materials to synthesize energy, chemicals and materials. The new model of the route has typical features, such as low-carbon cycle, green and clean. Biological intelligence is based on synthetic biology.
(1) Synthetic biology and cell factory
From DNA molecules, gene parts, gene regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways to the artificial design and synthesis of cells, the principles and methods of engineering are applied to the fields of biotechnology, such as genetic engineering and cell engineering to construct a "cell factory". Using microorganisms and other cells as a processing plant, using cell metabolism as the "production line", using enzymes as catalysts, computer-aided design of efficient and directional artificial metabolic circuits, and genetic engineering methods to achieve logistics energy flow adaptation. Strengthen the pathway of target metabolites, so as to construct cells such as microorganisms into an ideal product "manufacturing factory". The cell factory can replace non-renewable fossil resources with renewable biomass resources, replace chemical processing methods with cleaner production and processing methods, change the high-consumption, high-pollution, and low-efficiency production mode, and improve the level of traditional industries. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and Efficient and sustainable, it i...
