Slipping out unnoticed: a new bacterial lipoprotein transport system

未来10年，生物技术衍生产品的全球市场预计将增长到每年至少500亿美元。生物技术的基石是蛋白质的生产。申请人发现了一种在细菌中产生蛋白质的新途径。该项目的主要目标是使用多种生化和生物物理技术来了解这种新的蛋白质生产平台是如何工作的。我们还将评估这种生产生物技术部门感兴趣的蛋白质的新途径。该项目希望确定该系统如何在不断发展的澳大利亚生物经济中得到利用。

Worldwide markets for biotechnology-derived products are projected to grow to at least $50 billion per year for the next 10 years. The cornerstone of biotechnology is the production of proteins. The applicant has discovered a new pathway for protein production in bacteria. The primary objective of this project is to use a diverse array of biochemical and biophysical techniques to understand how this new protein production platform works. We will also assess this new pathway for the production of proteins of interest to the biotechnology sector. This project expects to determine how this system can be exploited for use in the growing Australian bioeconomy.
