100 mM Adenine triphosphate (ATP) |
|
50 mM Guanidine triphosphate (GTP) |
|
100 mM Uridine triphosphate (UTP) |
|
S30-T7 lysate |
Prepared according to Table 1
|
DNase, RNase free H2O |
|
B. Equipment: |
Notes: |
Floor incubator shaker or a Thermomixer®
|
|
C. Procedure: |
|
-
1.1
Prepare the CFPS reaction mixtures according to Table 3. Make sure to thaw and add the S30-T7 lystae just prior to the incubation and protien production step.
-
1.2
Incubate the reaction using a floor incubator shaker at 250 rpm, or a Thermomixer® at 1200 rpm at a constant temperature for 2 hours. When this protocol is first used, it is recommened to incubate the reaction at 37°C. In addition, perform a parallel reaction without DNA, to obtain a negative control.
-
1.3
Evaluate the produced protein amount using a suitable method, according to the target protein properties.
