With minimal equipment and a quick and straightforward protocol, students will use cell-free technology to visualize the flow of genetic information and monitor transcription and translation in real time through fluorescence. This activity serves as an excellent interactive tool for learning the central dogma of molecular biology and exposes students to cutting-edge synthetic biology.
Illuminate transcription and translation with the BioBits™ cell-free system.
BioBits™ pellets are tiny molecular factories that can create a variety of proteins, from brightly colored fluorescent proteins to functional enzymes, without the need for cell culture. When dry, BioBits™ pellets are dormant, but they can be activated by simply adding water. Researchers have been using cell-free reactions in their laboratories for years, with applications ranging from novel therapeutic discovery to field diagnostics. Now the BioBits™ cell-free system makes this cutting-edge technology accessible anywhere to anyone interested in learning molecular biology and is an excellent teaching tool to enhance biology education both within and beyond the classroom.
