CO₂-elevated cell-free protein synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Gases are the vital nutrition of all organisms as the precursor of metabolism pathways. As a potential biological process, protein synthesis is inevitably regulated by gas transport and utilization. However, the effect of carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in many metabolic pathways on protein synthesis has not been studied well. In this work, carbon dioxide combined with oxygen was employed for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) in the tube-in-tube reactor with precise control of gas concentration. In this in vitro system, gases could directly affect the protein synthesis process without transmembrane transport. Varied concentrations of carbon dioxide (0-1%) and constant oxygen concentration (21%) were employed for CFPS to assess the effects. The cell-free reactions with 0.3%
