I don't think so because living systems
have no limit you know if the other
limit we still would be bacteria we
started from bacteria and we are humans
and it's not finished you know the
evolution is not finished why would they
be finished
you
you know this the term of synthetic
biology was introduced by mr. Lou Duke
in 1912 1912 because his thought was
that as long as you are not able to
construct something you don't dominate
it you know in chemistry people have
been analyzing molecules understanding
the structure of the molecules and then
synthesizing the molecules in living
systems we are still at the analytical
step we are totally unable to mix the
molecular constituent of a living system
to shake it and then to obtain a living
systems which can grow so that's a key
difference and I think that we are
fortunately very far from really
dominating living systems but we can
improve living systems
look at the horse for example you can
improve under strictly since millions of
years horses or dogs you know from a
wolf so it's the same from
microorganisms you can improve bacteria
you can improve yeast to have more
efficient tools to producing compounds
of interest in fact the interest is
mostly when you have a complex molecule
look at methionine for example it's the
only amino acid which is produced by
chemical synthesis because you produce
two compounds which are the image each
other in a mirror
no but if you want to produce lysine you
must produce only one of the two hands
this one he'll lysine and then you use
instead of chemistry a biological tool
fermentation so all depends what you
aren't want to do
