Are There Industrial Applications of Catalysis in Gene Expression?
Absolutely. Industrial biotechnology leverages catalysis in gene expression for the production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and other valuable chemicals. Enzymes are used to enhance the expression of desired genes in microbial or cell culture systems to increase yields of target products. Genetic engineering techniques often rely on enzymes like restriction enzymes and ligases to manipulate DNA for creating recombinant organisms.
