Although scientists are a long way from making a completely artificial life form, they have made semi-synthetic organisms that have an expanded genetic code, allowing them to produce never-before-seen proteins. Now, researchers reporting in Journal of the American Chemical Society have optimized a semi-synthetic bacteria to efficiently produce proteins containing unnatural amino acids.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-07-semi-synthetic-bacteria-churn-unnatural-proteins.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;Semi-synthetic&#8217; bacteria churn out unnatural proteins<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synthetic biologists seek to create new life with forms and functions not seen in nature.
