Name at least two cases where cell-free expression is more beneficial than cell production. Cell-free protein synthesis is basically taking the protein-making machinery out of a living cell and running the process in a test tube. The biggest advantage over traditional in vivo methods (which use living cells) is that you do not have to worry about keeping a cell alive. When you work with living cells, the cell membrane blocks you from easily changing the environment, and the cell’s natural life-cycles get in the way.Hugoen
