The waste product that these recent studies focused most on is amyloid-beta, which is a protein that's made in the brain all the time.

To explain what microRNAs are and their important role in cancer, I need to start with proteins, because when cancer is present in our body, protein modification is observed in all cancerous cells.

As you might know, proteins are large biological molecules that perform different functions within our body, like catalyzing metabolic reactions or responding to stimuli or replicating DNA, but before a protein is expressed or produced, relevant parts of its genetic code present in the DNA are copied into the messenger RNA, so this messenger RNA has instructions on how to build a specific protein, and potentially it can build hundreds of proteins, but the one that tells them when to build them and how many to build are microRNAs.

Now, if you open the fruit of the baobab, you'll see a white, floury pulp, which is very rich in nutrients and has got protein, more protein than in human milk.

Yes, you heard right: more protein than in human milk.

But he waits that long to grow them as big and juicy and tasty as he can because they are the chickens' favorite form of protein.

More protein than a hunter's family could eat before it rotted.

If you bite into an organic or conventional papaya that is infected with the virus, you will be chewing on tenfold more viral protein.

The next thing we needed to do was find a way to get X and Y into cells, and eventually we found that a protein that does something similar in algae worked in our bacteria.

Proteins are being used today for an increasingly broad range of different applications, from materials that protect soldiers from injury to devices that detect dangerous compounds, but at least to me, the most exciting application is protein drugs.

Despite being relatively new, protein drugs have already revolutionized medicine, and, for example, insulin is a protein.

So of course, with natural cells, you can only get them to make proteins with the natural amino acids, and so the properties those proteins can have, the applications they could be developed for, must be limited by the nature of those amino acids that the protein's built from.

So here they are, the 20 normal amino acids that are strung together to make a protein, and I think you can see, they're not that different-looking.

So it's really provocative to wonder what sort of new protein drugs you could develop if you could build proteins from more diverse things.

So can we get our semisynthetic organism to make proteins that include new and different amino acids, maybe amino acids selected to confer the protein with some desired property or function?

So could we take those molecules and make them parts of new amino acids that, when incorporated into a protein, are guided by that protein to their target?

Synthorx is working closely with my lab, and they're interested in a protein that recognizes a certain receptor on the surface of human cells.

So could we produce a variant of that protein where the part that interacts with that second bad receptor is shielded, blocked by something like a big umbrella so that the protein only interacts with that first good receptor?

So getting our semisynthetic cells to act as little factories to produce better protein drugs isn't the only potentially really interesting application, because remember, it's the proteins that allow cells to do what they do.

For example, could we develop semisynthetic organisms that when injected into a person, seek out cancer cells and only when they find them, secrete a toxic protein that kills them?

These cells are green because they're making a protein that glows green.

It's a pretty famous protein, actually, from jellyfish that a lot of people use in its natural form because it's easy to see that you made it.

These cells are living and growing and making protein with a six-letter alphabet.

This is a protein made up of 100,000 atoms.

Today we know they're made from protein molecules.

You can imagine a protein molecule as a piece of paper that normally folds into an elaborate piece of origami.

This causes the protein molecules to stick to each other, forming clumps that eventually become large plaques and tangles.

Part of the CRISPR system is a protein called Cas9, that's able to seek out, cut and eventually degrade viral DNA in a specific way.

That's a great thing for growing protein.

It's actually a very efficient converter of plant protein into animal protein, and it's been a godsend to the third world.
