TheE. coliT7 S30 Extract System for Circular DNA simplifies the transcription/translation of DNA sequences cloned in plasmid or λ vectors containing a T7 promoter by providing an extract that contains T7 RNA polymerase for transcription and all components needed for translation. The investigator only supplies cloned DNA containing a T7 promoter and a ribosome binding site. This product is prepared by modifications of the method described by Zubay from anE. colistrain B deficient inOmpT endoproteinase andlonprotease activity. This results in greater stability of expressed proteins that would otherwise be degraded by proteases if expressed in vivo.
Features - Benefits
Flexible:Can translate using any clone that has a T7 promoter and a ribosome binding site. Other S30 extracts require anE. colipromoter.
Greater Stability:Reduced chance of expressed proteins degrading.
Complete:Contains all components needed for coupled transcription/translation.
Low Background:Synthesizes very low levels of endogenous proteins.
Optimized:Premix is optimized for each lot of S30 Extract and contains all other required components (except amino acids), such as ribonucleotides, tRNAs, PEP (phosphoenol pyruvate) and salts.
