DNM Recombinant Protein refers to a protein that is produced through recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting a gene encoding the desired protein into a host organism, which then synthesizes the protein. The term "DNM" typically specifies a particular recombinant protein or a proprietary system used in its production.
- Gene Cloning and Expression System:
- The gene of interest, often coding for a protein of interest, is cloned into a plasmid vector.
- The plasmid contains regulatory elements necessary for transcription and translation, such as a promoter, ribosome-binding site, and terminator sequences.
- The plasmid is introduced into a host cell (e.g., E. coli, yeast, or mammalian cells) through transformation or transfection.
- Protein Expression:
- Host cells are cultured under conditions that induce the expression of the recombinant protein.
- The induction is typically controlled by temperature shifts, chemical inducers, or other methods depending on the host system and plasmid design.
- Protein Purification:
- After expression, the protein is harvested from the cell culture.
- It undergoes purification processes such as affinity chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, and size-exclusion chromatography to isolate the protein from other cellular components.
- Characterization and Validation:
- The purified protein is analyzed to confirm its identity, purity, and functionality.
- Techniques used include SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, mass spectrometry, and enzyme assays.
- Applications:
- The recombinant protein may be used for research, diagnostics, therapeutic purposes, or as a component in vaccines or other biological products.
DNM Recombinant Protein is thus a product of sophisticated genetic engineering techniques that allows for the production of proteins with high specificity and yield for various applications in science and medicine.
