Name at least two cases where cell-free expression is more beneficial than cell production. Main advantages (flexibility &amp; control):
Open system: You can directly add/remove components (DNA, cofactors, salts, inhibitors). Precise control: You can tune Mg²⁺, ATP, amino acids, etc. Rapid expression: No need for cloning → transformation → growth. Toxic proteins: You can express proteins that would normally kill cells.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/jean-colmenares/homework/week-09-cell-free-systems/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
