IN VITRO PROTEIN SYNTHESIS USING GLYCOLYTIC INTERMEDIATES AS AN ENERGY SOURCE

摘要

Compositions and methods are provided for the enhanced in vitro synthesis of biological molecules where ATP is required for synthesis. Of particular interest is the synthesis of polymers, e.g. nucleic acids, polypeptides, and complex carbohydrates. Glycolytic intermediates or glucose are used as an energy source, in combination with added NADH or NAD+.
