Abstrakt: Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is a powerful platform for synthetic biology, allowing for the controlled expression of proteins without reliance on living cells. However, the process of producing the cell extract, a key component of cell-free reactions, can be a bottleneck for new users to adopt CFPS as it requires technical knowledge and significant researcher oversight. Here, we provide a detailed method for implementing a simplified cell extract preparation workflow using CFAI media. We also provide a detailed protocol for the alternative, 2x YPTG media-based preparation process, as it represents a useful benchmark within the cell-free community.
