Quicker, cheaper methods to create test tube proteins

Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 07:32 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org)—Over the past decade, researchers have become increasingly interested in cell-free protein synthesis techniques as a means to produce proteins in the biotechnology and medical industries. Taking place in a test tube rather than a cell, these methods give researchers more control over the protein synthesis process. But many researchers have not explored these approaches due to the specialized equipment required and limited throughput.
