Mimicking living cells: Synthesizing ribosomes




Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University and Harvard Medical School have for the first time synthesized ribosomes from scratch in a test tube. The researchers took an approach different from their predecessors: they mimicked the natural synthesis of a ribosome, allowing natural enzymes of a cell to help facilitate the man-made construction. The technology could lead to the discovery of new antibiotics targeting ribosome assembly and the creation of tailor-made ribosomes to produc...
