Protein synthesis is a biotechnical process in which selected genes are inserted into host cells that can then produce large amounts of proteins. These proteins, called recombinant proteins, can be used as medicines or enzymes. In a study, co-led by Håkan Jönsson (SciLifeLab/KTH), researchers investigated how they could optimize the synthesis.
