Transcript
The cell-free autoinduction method reduces researcher oversight and time needed to produce functional cell extracts. This simplifies previous in vitro protein synthesis protocols that were more time-consuming and intensive. This technique is less

This work describes the preparation of cell extract from Escherichia coli (E. coli) followed by cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) reactions in under 24 hours. Explanation of the cell-free autoinduction (CFAI) protocol details improvements made to reduce researcher oversight and increase quantities of cell extract obtained.
