Cell Free Protein Expression
The cell-free protein expression system is also known as the in vitro translation system. The cell-free protein synthesis system uses the target mRNA or DNA as the template, adds the substrate and energy required for the protein synthesis to the enzyme system from the cell extract, and synthesize the target protein in vitro. The cell-free protein expression system simulates in vivo cells and reproduces the intracellular protein transcription and translation process. It needs the existence of various materials required for protein synthesis, including energy, transcription factors, and translation factors, etc.
