how is genetically modified E.coli modified and grown to produce human insulin?
Q. How can E.Coli be transformed so that it produces human insulin?

A. First find the human insulin gene (hard) Copy it using PCR (polymerase chain reaction, google it if you don't know what it is) take out intron and extra flanking human DNA so E.coli can make it (can do it by turning it into RNA adding splicosomes then turning it back into DNA using reverse transcriptase) stick a strong promoter on it stick some restriction enzyme cut sites on either end use restriction enzyme to get sticky ends take a plasmid (small ring of DNA) containing an antibiotic resistance gene use restriction enzyme to get sticky ends add the gene from above and the sticky ends will match up ligate together using a ligation enzyme take plasmids add them to a batch of bacterial cells (add a chemical/stressor) to encourage them… [cont.]

What is the best vitamin e oil? Does it really work as well as people say it does?
Q. I had a lot of questions about reducing/lightening some acne scars and a few stretch marks. All the answers pointed to vitamin e oil or cocoa butter or even both (also strivectin but you have to apply that 3 times a day and it's costly).

A. My fave vitamin e oil has been discontinued. St.Ives makes a great collagen and elastin cream and lotion under $10. Their products are really good and cost effective. Alpha hydroxy and retinol and retin A encourage cell reproduction. Salicylic acid is a great mild astringent in toners that do the same thing. Mederma also is supposed to get rid of scars, but I haven't tried it. Use a sunscreen and stay out of the sun. Don't believe anyone who tell you that tanning will work, because it won't and you'll only wind up doing further damage to your skin PLUS accentuate your stretchmarks and scars. Some great skin supplements are flax seed and evening primrose oil, but if your skin is naturally very oily, you might want to try a low… [cont.]
