Abstract: Improved methods are provided in vitro synthesis of biological molecules, providing for improved yields, lowered costs, and enhanced utility. Improved yield and lowered cost is obtained by the use of a phosphate free energy source in the presence of exogenous phosphate, and optionally in the absence of exogenous nucleoside triphosphates.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for the enhanced in vitro synthesis of protein molecules, by optimizing the metabolism of amino acids present in the reaction mix, preferably all amino acids in the reaction mixture. By performing synthesis with extracts from genetically modified microbial strains that are deficient in multiple amino acid metabolizing enzymes reduces the enzymatic activities responsible for catalyzing these reactions and improves the overall yield of synthesis.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for the improved in vitro synthesis of polypeptides, where the duration of detectable protein synthesis in a reaction is substantially extended over existing methods, thereby providing for increased total yield of polypeptide. Increased synthesis is accomplished by maintaining the concentration of CTP and UTP in the reaction mixture at a pre-determined level. In another embodiment of the invention, increased synthesis is obtained by maintaining the concentration of cysteine and serine at a pre-determined level. The reaction mixture may be supplemented with additional amino acids during the course of the reaction.
