Synthetic Biology Quiz
Why is synthetic biology better at enabling one-pot syntheses than chemical synthesis?
(Required)
Complex starting materials are required
Multiple enzymes can operate simultaneously under mild conditions
Bio-derived solvents can be used
Intermediates must be purified and recovered en route to the final product
