Metabolic Pathway Engineering

Metabolic pathway engineering is like tinkering with a recipe to make it better. In this case, scientists modify the biochemical pathways in living organisms to improve their ability to produce certain substances like medicines, biofuels, or chemicals. By changing the genetic makeup of an organism, researchers can optimize its metabolism to increase the yield of desired products. This field combines biology, genetics, and engineering to create more efficient and sustainable processes for producing valuable compounds.
