Explain the main advantages of cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) 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. The biggest advantage I see is that CFPS turns “biology” into “chemistry.” In traditional in vivo systems, the cell membrane is a wall that prevents us from easily tweaking the internal environment. In a cell-free setup, I have an “open” system. I can add non natural amino acids, adjust salt concentrations (Mg²⁺ and K⁺) in real time, or even add detergents to help fold tricky proteins.Hugoen
