https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/marisa-satsia/homework/week-09--cell-free-systems/index.htmlThis week introduces synthesis of proteins using cellular machinery outside of a cell. I LOVED THE LECTURE and I loved Kate Adamalas work. We have to solve terrestrial problems before extraterrestrial problems...we need to shift away from a petroleum based bioeconomy...we need a paradigm shift. Kate Adamala <3 General homework questions 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. A cell-free system allows biological reactions to occur outside of living cells. By extracting and using cellular components like ribosomes, RNA polymerase, amino acids, and ATP, this method enables reactions in a controlled, simplified environment. Cell-free systems allow for the engineering, expression, and analysis of genetic constructs without the complexity of living cells.Hugoen
