Reaction parameters used for cap-dependent translation in coupled reactions (left) were optimized for CrPV IGR IRES-mediated translation (right). Optimization was performed by cell-free expression of active LUC using the pIX3.0-CrPV IGR IRES (GCT) vector as a template. Reactions were incubated for 3 h in a thermomixer.
