👉 In biochemistry and molecular biology, an optoisolate is a type of non-similar biological structure that can be isolated from a cell or organism. They are typically formed when two cells come into contact with each other, causing the membrane to break down or rupture. Optoisolates can then be recombined by different processes, such as biochemical synthesis, to form new structures. Optoisols can have a wide range of applications in medicine and biotechnology because they can be used for drug discovery
