Introduction to Chemical Synthetic Biology

One of the important aims of synthetic biology is to construct life forms that do not exist in nature. Synthetic biology is currently considered to be the most ambitious field in modern biotechnology and bioengineering. Its concept is by now well accredited. Synthetic biology is embodied in two complementary aspects. On the one hand, synthetic biology is to obtain alternative forms of life through the genetic manipulation of existing forms. Along with this bioengineering-genetic aspect, the other aspect of synthetic biology is more oriented towards basic science. In this regard, chemistry, more than genetic manipulation, is the major tool for the laboratory synthesis of biological structures that do not exist in nature. This has given rise to the term "chemistry synthetic biology" to describe this particular field, emphasizing the possible relevance of chemical synthetic biology to basic science and biotechnology advances.

Chemistry synthetic biology demonstrates how chemistry underpins synthetic biology. Chemistry plays a very important role in the emerging field of chemistry synthetic biology, which is concerned with the synthesis of chemical structures that are alternative to those present in nature. Chemical synthetic biology uses and assembles synthetic or nonsynthetic biological parts to create new and alternative structures. Chemical Synthetic Biology combines the study of molecular biology, synthetic chemistry, synthetic biology, bioengineering, systems biology, bioinformatics, and computational technology to produce a rich diversity of new forms and corresponding novel ideas. The "Never Born Biopolymers" and the "Minimal Cell" are two main projects of chemical synthetic biology that are of paramount importance for both the general understanding of biological function, organization, and development, and for applied biotechnology. Chemical synthetic biology, a large field that combines basic science and applicative, is believed to bring about significant advancements.
