A Crude Extract Preparation and Optimization from a Genomically Engineered for the Cell-Free Protein Synthesis System: Practical Laboratory Guideline.

With the advancement of synthetic biology, the cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) system has been receiving the spotlight as a versatile toolkit for engineering natural and unnatural biological systems. The CFPS system reassembles the materials necessary for transcription and translation and recreates the in vitro protein synthesis environment by escaping a physical living boundary. The cell extract plays an essential role in this in vitro format.
