Design Objectives
Our design was guided by the needs of three user groups:
Simple scientific protocols
Standardized parts
Well characterized and developed system
Standard, easy to use system
Simplified protocols
Modular tool that can be tailored to the application
Modular experiments
Open-source
Open-source
Promote good safety practices
Standardized parts
Resulting in the identification of four core design considerations for our system
STANDARD, MODULAR, SAFE, and USER-FRIENLDY
Overview
To ensure utility of our system, we developed a simplified expression and purification strategy to produce the necessary biomachinery for cell-free synthetic biology.
Our system includes all of the 36 essential TX-TL proteins, the 23S and 16S rRNA, and a tRNA for each amino acid, where tRNAPhe will act as a proof of concept for our novel purification method. In addition, we include the MS2 coat protein which is essential to our tRNA and rRNA purification strategies.
