  • Publication number: 20230383318
    Abstract: The present disclosure identifies pathways, mechanisms, systems and methods to confer chemoautotrophic production of carbon-based products of interest, such as sugars, alcohols, chemicals, amino acids, polymers, fatty acids and their derivatives, hydrocarbons, isoprenoids, and intermediates thereof, in organisms such that these organisms efficiently convert inorganic carbon to organic carbon-based products of interest using inorganic energy, such as formate, and in particular the use of organisms for the commercial production of various carbon-based products of interest.

  • Publication number: 20100305197
    Abstract: This invention relates, at least in part, to conditionally active ribozymes and uses of such ribozymes. Some aspects of this invention relate to the engineering of conditionally active ribozymes. In some embodiments, the splicing activity of such ribozymes is modulated by at least one regulatory element. Some aspects of this invention relate to uses of conditionally active ribozymes. RNA detection technology, conditional RNA expression technology, cell tagging technology, therapeutic approaches, and synthetic biology are examples of areas in which conditionally active ribozymes according to some aspects of the invention can be employed. RNA folding models useful in the design of conditionally active ribozymes with altered splicing efficiency and/or substrate specificity are provided. Compositions and methods to manufacture medicaments containing conditionally active ribozymes are also described.
