  • Publication number: 20120315669
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparative in vitro protein synthesis in a cell-free transcription/translation system, comprising the following steps: a) in a reaction vessel, a reaction solution is prepared, comprising the following synthesis substances: components of the transcription/translation apparatus for a defined-protein, amino acids, and metabolic components supplying energy and being necessary for the synthesis of the defined protein, b) the synthesis is performed in the reaction vessel in a defined period of time, c) after expiration of the defined period of time, the reaction solution is subjected to a separation step, in which generated low-molecular metabolic products are separated from the solution (and extracted).

  • Publication number: 20120142048
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nucleic acid which is stabilised against decomposition by exonucleases. Said nucleic acid contains the following constituents: a) a code sequence coding for a defined protein, b) optimally, a promoter sequence controlling the expression of the code sequence, and c) at least one molecule A added to an end of the linear sequence containing the constituents a and b, said molecule being linked to a non-immobilised, volumic molecule B.

  • Publication number: 20110212452
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparative production of long nucleic acids by PCR. The method involves the following hybridization steps: a) a nucleic acid base sequence is hybridized on the 3? and 5? ends with an adapter primer; b) the product from step a) is hybridized on the 3? and 5? ends with an extension primer containing an extension sequence, wherein a nucleic acid with extension sequences amplified and enlarged in the 3? and 5? ends of the nucleic acid base sequence is then formed from the nucleic acid base sequence. The invention also relates to different applications of the inventive method.

  • Publication number: 20100196952
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparative in vitro protein synthesis of an expression product in a cell-free transcription/translation system, comprising the following steps: a) in a reaction vessel, a reaction solution is prepared, comprising the following synthesis substances: components of the transcription/translation apparatus for a defined expression product, amino acids, and metabolic components supplying energy and being necessary for the synthesis of the defined protein, b) the synthesis is performed in the reaction vessel in a defined period of time, without separating generated substances and without adding consumed synthesis substances within the defined period of time, c) after expiration of the defined period of time, the reaction solution is subjected to a separation step, in which generated low-molecular metabolic products and/or reaction inhibitors are separated from the solution (and extracted), d) immediately before, after or at the same time as step c) consumed synthesis substances

  • Publication number: 20090087879
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a lysate used for cell-free protein biosynthesis, comprising the following steps: a) a genomic sequence in an organism, which codes for an essential translation product that reduces the yield of cell-free protein biosynthesis, is replaced by the foreign DNA located under a suitable regulatory element, said foreign DNA coding for the essential translation product that additionally contains a marker sequence; b) the organism cloned according to step a) is cultivated; c) the organisms from the culture obtained in step b) are lysed; and d) the essential translation product is eliminated by means of a separation process that is selective for the marker sequence. Also disclosed are said lysate and the use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20080096256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gene expression in a cell-free translation system, wherein the reaction solution comprises an RNA matrix with a gene sequence, which codes for an expression product to be expressed, and a translation system from eukaryotic cells, wherein the reaction solution is incubated, and wherein the expression product is optionally separated from the reaction solution, characterized by that the RNA matrix, viewed in the 5?-3? direction, comprises a Shine Dalgarno sequence, connected to a first spacer sequence and connected to the gene sequence.
