Cell-Free: Characterisation

The characterisation of parts and devices in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts have have been considered in terms of rate of gene expression in the units Polymerase per Second (PoPS) or Ribosome per Second (RiPS). However the characterisation of the cell-free chassis housing the expression machinery has not been considered up till now. Our team has defined some parameters as well as partially characterized the various systems that will help us better understand the characteristics and limitations associated with CFS in general.
