Biotechnology & HGH
April 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The history of biotechnology dates back to at least 5,000 years when the first loaf of bread was baked from fermented dough, the first alcoholic drink was brewed and the first pots of cheese and yoghurt were made. The modern era of biotechnology began in 1868 with the discovery of DNA by the German scientist, F Meischer.
DNA carries the hereditary information that determines the structure of proteins which are the essential structural and functional components of cells. Much of the transforming power of biotechnology relies on enzymes, which are catalytic proteins. DNA also controls things like cell division, differentiation and whether it will live or die, remain normal or become cancerous.
Biotechnology is broadly defined as a multi-disciplinary field which utilises a myriad of techniques and approaches to exploit biological systems for a variety of commercial and industrial purposes. The scientific and conceptual foundations of biotechnology are derived from molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology and chemical and process engineering. Some well-known biotechnology products are insulin, interferon, human growth hormone (hgh), somatostatin and antibiotics. The list also includes recombinant vaccines and commercially available diagnostic and research kits.
