From Design to Protein: Cell-Free Protein Expression Using Twist Gene Fragments

Cell-free protein expression can accelerate discovery in synbio. Gene fragments are an optimal substrate for cell-free protein production

A cornerstone of synthetic biology is designing DNA sequences and testing the characteristics and functions of the resultant proteins. Here, Twist Gene Fragments were used as DNA input of a cell-free protein expression study using multiple commercially available in vitro protein production kits. The results demonstrate that Twist Gene Fragments enable high-throughput protein expression and functional testing within a single day.
