Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 38P
| a. | The genetic code table shown in Fig. 8.2 applies both to humans and to E. coli. Suppose that you have purified a piece of DNA from the human genome containing the entire gene encoding the hormone insulin. You now transform this piece of DNA into E. coli. Why can’t E. coli cells containing the human insulin gene actually make insulin? |
| b. | Pharmaceutical companies have actually been able to obtain E. coli cells that make human insulin; such insulin can be purified from the bacterial cells and used to treat diabetic patients. How were the pharmaceutical companies able to create such bacterial factories for making insulin? |
