Name at least two cases where cell-free expression is more beneficial than cell production. Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) offers significant advantages over traditional in vivo methods, particularly in terms of flexibility and control over experimental variables. One of the main advantages is that CFPS operates as an open system, allowing direct manipulation of all reaction components. Researchers can precisely control variables such as DNA or mRNA concentration, ion composition (Mg²⁺, K⁺), cofactors, and environmental conditions like temperature and pH. In contrast, others systems are limited by cellular regulation and metabolic constraints.Hugoen
