World's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product?
The world's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product was Humulin, approved by the FDA in 1982. Humulin is a synthetic form of human insulin that is produced using genetically modified bacteria to help manage diabetes.
What is the universal language of genes?
The "language" of genes is the genetic code.This is the correspondence between one element of code (a codon) and an amino acid that is incorporated into a chain when that piece of code is translated into a polypeptide, on the way to synthesizing a protein.The genetic code is often called universal, because which codon represents which amino acid is the same in humans, bacteria, and rhubarb! In other words, the code is universal among eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.However, it is not quite truly universal, as there are a few variations, especially in mitochondria.Scientists have been able to make use of the fact that, for example, bacteria and humans share the same genetic code. A human gene, interposed among the native genes of a bacterial plasmid, is transcribed and translated by the bacterium to form the human protein.Human insulin (humulin) is an example of a protein made by this type of recombinant DNA technology.
Suggest why bacteria are chosen to make human insulin?
The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine
If a eukaryotic gene is inserted in prokaryotic cellwould gene expressed its characters?
Yes. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes use the same system of codons (they speak the same 'language'). For example, GGG will be translated to glycine in a human and in E. coli bacteria. Therefore, as long as the eukaryotic gene is attached to the appropriate prokaryotic gene regulation elements, a prokaryotic cell will be able to translate and express the gene. The most common method to accomplish this is to put the eukaryotic gene in a 'vector' (most commonly a plasmid of bacterial origin), and then transform the bacteria with this vector.This is how humulin (human insulin) was first prepared by recombinant DNA technology. The eukaryotic genetic information (human DNA) was inserted into prokaryotic plasmids, and the bacteria then synthesized insulin.
What are 4 ways micro organisms are helpful?
Bacteria are part of chemical cycles during which they release essential elements such as carbon and nitrogen for recycling.Bacteria decompose dead and decaying organic matter, assist animal digestion of food, and produce chemicals such as ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, acetic acid, and acetone. Bacteria also aid in the production of food products such as cheese, butter, sauerkraut, coffee, wine, and cocoa.Bacteria can be an integral part of the manufacture of silk, cotton, and rubber.Bacteria synthesize certain antibiotics.Bacteria that can digest and dissolve hydrocarbons are used to clean up oil spills.For more information visit the Related Link.
Can humulin N and humulin r be mixed in the same syringe?
yes it can be mixed as long as the doses is less than 35 /cc
Why would a person need to take humulin r what it's humulin r for?
Why would a person need to take humulim r
What is the difference between humulin insulin and reliOn insulin?
Relion Humulin is the exact same thing as Humlin, but Relion Humlin is manufactured exclusively for WalMart.
Are humulin 70 30 and humulin n insulin interchangeable?
No, follow your doctor's orders with insulin dosages. Too much insulin can cause an unsafe drop in blood sugar.
The world's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product was?
Humulin
When is a a person on humulin n most at risk for hypoglycemia?
1.5 hours later
What type insulin is used for diabetic ketoacidosis?
Regular Insulin (Humulin R)
When are you most at risk when taking humulin n 35?
peak time is 18 hours
When does humulin n 35 peak?
Humulin N 30/70 typically peaks around 2-12 hours after injection, with a duration of action of about 18-24 hours. It is important to monitor blood glucose levels closely to determine the peak time for each individual.
Can Humalog and Humulin N be mixed in the same syringe without compromising either medication?
Yes, you can mix both in the same syringe
Can humalog and humulin n be mixed?
Humalog (insulin lispro) and Humulin N (NPH insulin) can be mixed in the same syringe, but it’s important to follow proper mixing techniques to ensure effectiveness. Humalog, a rapid-acting insulin, should be drawn into the syringe first, followed by Humulin N. However, mixing insulins should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and proper management of blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to insulin administration.
Is humulin r is similar to apidra?
Humulin R and Apidra are both insulin medications used to manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, but they differ in their formulation and action. Humulin R is a regular (short-acting) insulin that starts working within 30 minutes and lasts for about 6 to 8 hours. In contrast, Apidra is a rapid-acting insulin that begins to work within 15 minutes and has a shorter duration of action, typically lasting about 2 to 4 hours. Therefore, while they serve a similar purpose, their pharmacokinetics and timing of action are distinct.
