Explain the main advantages of cell-free protein synthesis over traditional in vivo methods, specifically in terms of flexibility and control over experimental variables. Name at least two cases where cell free expression is more beneficial than cell production. Mutations are still a phenomenon being understood in a synthetic cell system, however, in a cell FREE system, your risk for mutational error is lessened without an entire cell incorporated. Therapies in the environment and on people without the elevated risk of cellular contact The system is overall less time intensive allowing for reactions to happen in a day rather than a multi-day to multi-week turn around time. So far, the cell free system is projected to be less expensive than cell dependent systems as the labor, components and reaction times are less “problematic”. My assumption is this also allows increases the iterative aspects to experimentation. If the system takes less time with less resources and costs, researchers can directly build upon their experiments quicker. Describe the main components of a cell-free expression system and explain the role of each component.Hugoen
