PURExpress® Δ (aa, tRNA) Kit

PURExpress® Δ (aa, tRNA) Kit is a variation of the PURExpress In vitro Protein Synthesis Kit where the amino acids and tRNA are omitted from the translation mix.

  • Control amino acids and tRNA are provided separately
  • Ideal for studies requiring control of the concentration or content of amino acids and/or tRNAs in a translation reaction
  • Applications include non-natural amino acid incorporation, amino acid tRNA synthetase studies and labeling with amino acids that contain stable isotopes

  • Product Information

    A rapid method for gene expression analysis, PURExpress® is a novel cell-free transcription/translation system reconstituted from the purified components necessary for E. coli translation. With minimal nuclease and protease activity, the PURExpress system preserves the integrity of DNA and RNA templates/complexes and results in proteins that are free of modification and degradation. Transcription and translation are carried out in a one-step reaction, and require the mixing of only two tubes. With results available in a few hours, PURExpress saves valuable laboratory time and is ideal for high throughput technologies.

    25 μl reactions containing 250 ng template DNA and 20 units RNase Inhibitor were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. 2.5 μl of each reaction was analyzed by SDS-PAGE using a 10–20% Tris-glycine gel. The red dot indicates the protein of interest. Marker M is the Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703, discontinued and replaced with NEB #P7717 ).

    125 μl reactions were carried out according to recommendations in the accompanying manual. Samples were analyzed on a 10–20% Tris-glycine gel and stained with Coomassie Blue. Note that in both cases, the desired protein can be visualized in the total protein fraction. The red dot indicates the protein of interest. Marker M is the Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703, discontinued and replaced with NEB #P7717 ).
