Exploring the Potential of Cell-Free Protein Synthesis for Extending the Abilities of Biological Systems

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is a simple, rapid and sensitive tool that is devoid of membrane-bound barriers, yet contains all the mandatory substrates, biomolecules and machineries required for the synthesis of the desired proteins. It has the potential to overcome loopholes in the current in vivo production systems and is a promising tool in both basic and applied scientific research. It facilitates a simplified organization of desired...
