Since its early development and use to decipher the genetic code, in vitro or ‘cell-free’ systems have been used as an important research tool to understand biochemical mechanisms and metabolic pathways. More recently, due to important engineering advances the technology is rapidly becoming a biomanufacturing platform for protein therapeutics, vaccines, enzyme biocatalysts, fuels, and commodity chemicals. Here we report recent applications and advances in the cell-free biomanufacturing field and the potential of this emerging approach. |
