Name at least two cases where cell-free expression is more beneficial than cell production. Cell-free protein synthesis offers significant advantages over in vivo systems due to its flexibility and precise control over experimental conditions. Components can be easily added, removed, or adjusted without affecting cell viability, enabling rapid optimization and high-throughput experimentation. This system allows incorporation of non-natural amino acids to create proteins with novel properties, which is difficult in living cells. It is also ideal for producing toxic proteins that would otherwise harm cells. Additionally, cell-free systems are fast, scalable, reproducible, and suitable for prototyping genetic circuits and biosensors, including portable and freeze-dried applications for field use.Hugoen
