Question
Define SCP. How SCP can be better proteins than convention diet proteins.
✓

Answer

The cell from microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, filamentous algae treated in various ways and used as food, are called SCP (single cell protein).
SCP provides a protein rich supplement in human diet e.g. 250kg cow produces 200g of protein per day. In same time, 250g of microorganism like Methylophilus methylotrophus can produce 25 tonnes of protein because of it's high rate of biomass production and growth.

A new type of drug, PTC 124, enables translation to continue through the nonsense codon. Trials in mice homozygous for a CFTR allele containing the nonsense codon have found that animals treated with PTC 124 produce normal CFTR protein in their cells. The drug is taken orally and is readily taken up into cells all over the body.
Using your knowledge of the progress towards successful gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, suggest why PTC 124 could be simpler and more reliable treatment for this disease.
