  • Linked transcription and translation.
  • No subcloning prior to RNA transcript synthesis or purification of mRNA required
  • Uses vectors or PCR products directly.

  • Treated so that retic mRNAs are destroyed
  • Only exogenous mRNAs, both capped and uncapped, are translated
  • Ideal for translation of proteins >20 kDa
50-250 ng

(1) Recommended ribosome binding site (RBS).
(2) Kozak sequence may improve fidelity of translation.
