The TnT® SP6 High-Yield Wheat Germ Protein Expression System, based on an optimized wheat germ extract, is a single-tube, coupled transcription/translation system designed to express proteins in only two hours. Protein synthesized, in the range of 10–100μg/ml, can be used in multiple proteomic-based applications, as well as in high-throughput analysis.
All components necessary for transcription/translation are provided in the extract, with the exception of the plasmid DNA or PCR template. Optional protein-labeling reagents must also be supplied by the user.
For custom wheat germ extract (depleted amino acids), order Cat.# X808X (see Products, Available Separately).
Features - Benefits
Save Time: You can generate protein in only two hours, as compared to days when using cell-based (E. coli) systems.
Choose Your Format: Use plasmid or PCR-generated templates to generate protein.
Achieve High Yields: Generate 10- to 20-fold more protein (10–100μg/ml) when compared to other cell-free systems.
Generate Usable Protein: Generate soluble, full-length protein and avoid problems associated with E. coli systems.
Applications
Protein:protein interaction.
Protein:nucleic acid interactions.
Protein:ligand interaction.
Enzyme assays.
Protein expression.
