Metabolic engineering

Engineer a whole pathway?Large scale production?

Biosynthesis:- Fuel- Nutraceuticals

What else?!?!!

Example of metabolic engineering

Patnaik, R. and Liao, J. (1994). "Engineering of Escherichia coli central metabolism for aromatic metabolite production with near theoretical yield". Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60(11):3903-3908

The Human Metabolome project

Synthetic biology – “creating” life…

“Build” a genome from scratch?What is “minimal” genome?

…and beyond!

Protein + metabolic engineering

Any compound, any time!

“Download” vaccine to personal biofactory?!
