Cleared Lysate
- How Does A Cell Free System
Work?
- reactions that occur in a cell take
place in a cell free system with
- ut the complex interactions found
in the whole cell
http://genome.imim.es/
- Types of Cell Free Systems
- Wheat Germ; safer alternative - non toxic

Endogenous mRNA= >protein synthesis Manufacturing, sustainability
- Why A Cell Free System?
From: Collections of Henry Ford P189.16783
Potential ordered and sequential control
- not optimised - scale limited
- Synthetic biology; cloning is defined
and standardised
- Can optimise the chassis and move to
scale
- control the machine
- components and toxins
- Non propagating and non replicating
- E.coli ideal for coupled reactions, simple
- ethicals
less complication at control of initiation means better synthesis

Next year…
- First year in iGEM
- Learnt how things are run and
how things should be done
- That means we will be back
next year with our aims set at gold
