ZFNtekniikoita
ZFNtekniikoita, also known as zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), are a type of engineered enzyme used in genetic engineering and biotechnology. They are designed to recognize and bind to specific DNA sequences, allowing for precise modifications to the genome. ZFNs consist of a DNA-binding domain, typically derived from the transcription factor Zif268, and a nuclease domain, which can cleave the DNA at the target site. This makes ZFNs a powerful tool for gene editing, gene knockout, and other genetic manipulations.
The design of ZFNs involves selecting specific amino acid sequences that correspond to the desired DNA target.
ZFNs have been successfully used in various organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, for a wide
