Break the cell boundaries

Weizmann Institute of Science scientists have created the smallest artificial genetic circuit ever. The new development based on a single DNA molecule is expected to promote the next generation of nanobiotechnological applications
Imaging the self-assembly process: the production of proteins and ribosomal RNA from synthetic DNA strands on a chip leads to the self-assembly of a new ribosome subunit - also on the chip. Bottom left: imaging of DNA strands clustered in several dense brushes in the form of circles, right: fluorescence imaging of subunit cascades formed at the end of the assembly process.

A synthetic cell that contains all the molecular machinery needed to convert a DNA template into RNA and an active protein. The building blocks found in the external environment enter the particle and provide the raw materials necessary for the production of the therapeutic proteins. Courtesy of the Technion.
