Summary:In vitro transcription-translation reactions can be used to rapidly and inexpensively synthesize small amounts of protein from cloned DNA sequences for biochemical studies. The use of PCR to amplify template sequences has many advantageous over conventional protocols. However, the amount of template needs to be carefully adjusted for optimal production of protein products.
