  • The complementary polypeptide whose amino acid sequence is thus determined may be obtained by diverse means such as, for example, chemical synthesis, derivation from a protein or larger polypeptide containing said amino acid sequence, or, when the second nucleic acid is DNA, inserting the second nucleotide sequence into a plasmid to form a recombinant DNA plasmid vector and transforming a unicellular organism therewith to produce a transformant unicellular organism biosynthesizing said complementary polypeptide.
