What is Synthetic Biology in Aid of Bioactive Molecules about?

Synthetic biology emerged to understand the basic biological processes by designing the novel metabolic systems. The microorganisms are being engineered for the production of fuel, complex chemical compounds, and potential pharmaceutical drugs by using cheaper substrates. Synthetic biology provides essential components needed for engineering cellular metabolism. The well-characterized gene expression, chemical synthesis of metabolites, computer-aided modeling of desired metabolic pathway, and novel mechanism for biological product formation are the main tools of synthetic biology, which ultimately are used for the production of biomolecules. In this chapter, we will discuss different synthetic biology approaches for the production of various valuable biomolecules. 1. To understand natural processes by mimicking them in the artifi cial environment 2. To assemble the biological components in an artifi cial manner to synthesize useful bioactive molecules effi ciently and easily (Purnick and Weiss 2009 ) The genetic engineering for the production of a particular biomolecule can be done at the various levels vis-à-vis transcriptional, translational,
