For a clinical problem, this method typically includes a subject population, one or more intervention modalities(e. g. screening, diagnoses or treatment), intermediate outcomes(e. g. biological markers) and health outcomes. Causal pathways are intended to clearly and explicitly define the questions to be addressed in an assessment, and they are useful in identifying pivotal linkages for which scientific data may be lacking. 1, record 4, English, - causal%20pathway

Recombinant techniques... allow saturation mutagenesis of selected regions or sites of a gene. By these techniques, families of related enzymes are produced in a single cloning exercise. A population of bacterial colonies so produced will carry the mutant genes; each colony will harbor the gene coding for a single recombinant enzyme. Screening techniques may allow the colonies to be rapidly examined for mutant protein activity. Only the subset of colonies containing active enzymes will require further characterization. A comparison of mutant and wild-type proteins(or genes) will reveal sites that modulate activity or function. 1, record 5, English, - recombinant%20enzyme

On peut, par exemple, modifier la stabilité thermique, la spécificité, l'activité, ou déplacer le pH optimum des enzymes. (...)

The essential ingredients of a recombinant DNA experiment are : 1. A DNA vehicle(vector, replicon) which can replicate in living cells after foreign DNA is inserted into it. 2. A DNA molecule to be replicated(passenger), or a collection of them. 3. A method of joining the passenger to the vehicle. 4. A means of introducing the joined DNA molecule into a host organism in which it can replicate(DNA transformation or transfection). 5. A means of screening or genetic selection for those cells that have replicated the desired recombinant molecule. This is necessary since transformation and transfection methods are inefficient, so that most members of the host cell population have no recombinant DNA replicating in them. This selection or screening for desired recombinants provides a route to recovery of the recombinant DNA of interest in pure form. 1, record 7, English, - DNA%20transformation
