Using Synthetic Biology to Make Chemicals

The first step on that road has recently been taken. Researchers essentially modifiedn enzymes. They imbedded a metal catalist inside to make what they called artificial metallo enzymes. This technology opens up possibilities for fuels with desirable properties, as well as new antibiotics and nutral cuticles. It expands the range of molecules we can address. We really need destructive new technologies, and this definitely is one of them.
