Genentech decided that the early drugs they were trying to commercialize might be difficult to get through FDA hurdles and that this technology might best be applied to an industrial target, so a group of us that included Genentech's best protein chemists, molecular biologists and process scientists started working with Procter & Gamble in modifying an enzyme called protease to create a cost-effective, novel product that could be used to create a better laundry detergent. These sciences continued to evolve, and we eventually moved on to creating protein production systems in fungi, again accessing cutting-edge scientists needed to make this successful. In the end we were producing tanker cars full of proteins every day just for this detergent product—more protein than Genentech produces in a year. 收起
