Abstract
Rapid Translation System (RTS) is a cell-free protein production system employing an enhanced Escherichia coli lysate to perform coupled in vitro transcription-translation reactions. A continuous supply of energy substrates, nucleotides and amino acids combined with the removal of by-products guarantees a high yield of protein production. The gene to express is either cloned into a plasmid vector or introduced as a PCR product amenable to automation. The main property of this alternative system to cellular expression systems is its open design allowing direct manipulation of the reaction conditions and applications that are impossible or difficult in cell-based systems. RTS offers new promising possibilities in the postgenomic era.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
