Abstract:

Cell-free protein synthesis(CFPS)system is an efficient platform for in vitro protein synthesis. Compared with in vivo systems,it breaks through the limitations of living cells and enables the protein synthesis to be carried out in a test tube,which is flexible,efficient and controllable. In recent years,new technologies in synthetic biology have promoted the rapid development of CFPS system,especially in cell extracts and template DNA. Cell extracts and template DNA are integral components in the CFPS system,largely determining the efficiency and cost of cell-free reactions. This review describes the research progress of cell extracts and template DNA,mainly introduces the characteristics and prospects of newly developed cell extracts,as well as the research progress of plasmid DNA templates and linear DNA templates.

Key words: cell-free protein synthesis, cell extract, plasmid DNA templates, linear DNA templates
