Using DNA subunits to create DNA-like superstructures, scientists think they’ve discovered how to turn DNA into enzymes.
To the great scientific leaps witnessed during our first 25 years, and the game changers yet to come.
Near the turn of the millennium, James Collins and Stanislas Leibler independently undertook rather similar projects: design what would become synthetic biology’s seminal genetic circuits. And they came up with strikingly similar action plans—use E.
Exploiting the unique properties of living systems makes synthetic biologists better engineers.
