Utilizing Restriction Enzymes

The video explains the role of restriction enzymes in molecular genetics, focusing on their use in creating recombinant DNA. It details the process of genetically modifying bacteria to produce human insulin, starting from isolating insulin-producing cells from the human pancreas, extracting and splicing the insulin gene into bacterial plasmid DNA, and transforming the bacteria. The transformed bacteria reproduce rapidly, producing insulin that can be extracted and purified for diabetes treatment.
