recombinant proteins

Recombinant proteins are proteins that are artificially made by combining genetic material from different sources. Scientists insert a gene that codes for a specific protein into bacteria, yeast, or other cells. These cells then produce the protein in large amounts. This technique is widely used in medicine for creating important products, such as insulin for diabetes treatment and vaccines. By using recombinant technology, we can produce proteins that are identical to those naturally found in the body, improving therapies and advancing research.
