carrying capacity of blood, mitochondrial poisoning

Levels of Protein Structure
![Page 20: Biochem Intro to Biomolecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584255bd8b42ac0658b479a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Human Genome Project• A rough draft is complete, >90% sequenced• Represents approximately 75,000 human genes
(estimated range: 30,000 to 120,000)• Based on the DNA from six individuals; thus provides
little information regarding genetic diversity within the population
• Estimated that 95% of our DNA content is not important; represents evolutionary “baggage”
• Highlights the need for continued sequencing of genomes from other organisms to identify essential genes and their functions
![Page 21: Biochem Intro to Biomolecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584255bd8b42ac0658b479a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Proteomics
• Proteomics – the study of how all proteins interact with each other in a cell
• Estimate 50,000 to 2,000,000 human proteins• The amino acid sequence of a protein can be
determined from the gene sequence, but in most cases, this cannot be used to predict overall 3D-structure or function; usually this is done by X-ray crystallography
• Only about 1% of proteins have had their 3D structures determined

Predictions - 2020
• Gene-based designer drugs will be marketed for some diseases
• Cancer therapies will target the molecular fingerprint of each tumor type
• Drug susceptibility will be determined before a prescription is written
• Genomic intervention via homologous recombination will be used to insert genes without interfering with neighboring genes

• Computer models of human cells will be available for research
• Complete genome sequencing will cost less than $1,000 per person
![Page 26: Biochem Intro to Biomolecules](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584255bd8b42ac0658b479a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Predictions - 2040• Comprehensive genomics-based healthcare will be
standard.• Individualized preventive treatments will be
available and effective.• Gene therapies and gene-based drug therapies will
be available for most diseases.• Newborn testing for disease pre-disposition in
adulthood will be feasible.• The average lifespan will reach 90 yrs.
