Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is a technique for producing proteins outside of living cells by using extracted biological machinery. It involves combining components necessary for transcription and translation—such as ribosomes, enzymes, tRNAs, amino acids, and energy sources—with a DNA or mRNA template in a cell-free environment. This setup allows for the direct and quick synthesis of the target protein. The cell-free protein synthesis market covered in this report includes products and services used in the protein synthesis process across various applications, including enzyme engineering, high-throughput production, protein labeling, purification, and protein-protein interaction studies.
