What else can I help you with?
What happens when a scientists puts a normal human insulin gene in the DNA of a bacterium?
The insulin is slowly transformed into the bacterium as C6H12O6 is combined with the insulin to create this product. I know, I'm a biologist.
Is the insulin made by E.coli better or worse than insulin made by human?
The insulin that we engineer bacteria to make (E.colidoes not naturally make insulin) is identical to human insulin.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
Human insulin is preferable to animal insulin because it is made through genetic engineering, ensuring higher purity and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, human insulin closely mimics the natural insulin produced by the human body, which leads to more predictable and consistent results in managing diabetes. Lastly, human insulin is now more widely available and cost-effective compared to animal-derived insulin.
What happens when you drink insulin?
It depends on what type of glucose, but it's most likely the same as what is usually referred to as 'sugar', so it would just be very sweet. If you have a jar of glucose in a science lab, you should probably not taste it, because it's probably got a few impurities so it could make you quite ill.
What is the difference between human and analog insulin?
Human Insulin, is a replica of the insulin found naturally in human beings. These are synthetically prepared. An insulin analogue however is an altered form of this human insulin, by addition,subsitution or substraction of one/or more amino acid chain/s. This is done to make insulin more safe and effective for human use.
What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
The process involves inserting the human gene for insulin into a bacterial plasmid, which acts as a vector. The bacteria then replicates the gene and produces insulin protein. The protein is harvested, purified, and formulated into insulin for medical use.
Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?
Pig insulin is used as a substitute for human insulin in some cases because it is similar in structure and function to human insulin, making it effective in managing diabetes. Additionally, using pig insulin can be more cost-effective and readily available for some patients compared to human insulin.
Is production of human insulin transgenic organism?
Yes, human insulin can be produced through genetically engineered organisms, such as transgenic bacteria or yeast. These organisms are modified to express the human insulin gene, allowing them to produce insulin that is identical to the insulin produced by humans.
Is there pig pee in the insulin?
No . . . human insulin is made from pig insulin, quite often.
What will happen to humans if they do not drink?
Death by dehydration is what happens when humans do not drink water. If a human does not eat or drink, they will generally die from dehydration before starvation.
Is human insulin use for transgenic organisms?
Yes, human insulin can be used in transgenic organisms, particularly in the production of genetically modified bacteria or yeast that can synthesize insulin. By inserting the human insulin gene into these organisms, they can produce insulin that is structurally identical to human insulin, facilitating its use for diabetes treatment. This biotechnological approach enhances insulin production efficiency and can lower production costs compared to traditional extraction methods from animal sources.
Why is cow insulin a good substitue for human insulin?
Insulin from pigs or cows can cause immune reactions in some people, or people may develop an allergy to the insulin over time and it will be ineffective. Human insulin is not immunogenic and so is preferred.
