In vitro transcription-translation reactions can be used to rapidly an
d inexpensively synthesize small amounts of protein from cloned DNA se
quences for biochemical studies. The use of PCR to amplify template se
quences has many advantageous over conventional protocols. However, th
e amount of template needs to be carefully adjusted for optimal produc
tion of protein products.
