PURExpress® delta ribosome kit is a variation of the PURExpress In vitro Protein Synthesis Kit where ribosomes are omitted from the translation mix.

  • Control ribosomes provided separately
  • Designed for use with your own ribosomes
  • User supplied ribosomes can be E. coli-based wild type, mutant or ribosome from other bacterial species
  • Convenient for directly assaying ribosomal activity and translation studies
A rapid method for gene expression analysis, PURExpress® is a novel cell-free transcription/translation system reconstituted from the purified components necessary for E. coli translation. With minimal nuclease and protease activity, the PURExpress system preserves the integrity of DNA and RNA templates/complexes and results in proteins that are free of modification and degradation. Transcription and translation are carried out in a one-step reaction, and require the mixing of only two tubes. With results available in a few hours, PURExpress saves valuable laboratory time and is ideal for high throughput technologies.

25 μl reactions containing 250 ng template DNA and 20 units RNase Inhibitor were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. 2.5 μl of each reaction was analyzed by SDS-PAGE using a 10–20% Tris-glycine gel. The red dot indicates the protein of interest. Marker M is the Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703, discontinued and replaced with NEB #P7717).

125 μl reactions were carried out according to recommendations in the accompanying manual. Samples were analyzed on a 10–20% Tris-glycine gel and stained with Coomassie Blue. Note that in both cases, the desired protein can be visualized in the total protein fraction. The red dot indicates the protein of interest. Marker M is the Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703, discontinued and replaced with NEB #P7717 ).
Highlights
  • Cleaner System - sample degradation eliminated
  • Easy-to-use - protein expression complete in approximately two hours
  • Simple Analysis - protein can often be visualized directly on a Coomassie stained gel

    • Product Notes

      1. The DHFR control template is now supplied at 125 ng/µl. Use 2 µl for the positive control reaction. We use 60 pmoles of ribosomes in a standard 25 μl reaction. The supplied control ribosomes are enough for two reactions. Note: Using a smaller amount of ribosomes is possible but the protein yield may be lower.  For detailed usage information please refer to the product manual.
      2. PURExpress Control Template sequence files: Fasta, GenBank
      3. Storage: All kit components should be stored at -80°C.

FAQs
Tech Tips
  • Thaw and assemble reactions on ice
    Thoroughly mix solutions A and B before using. Do not vortex Solution B or ribosomes, mix gently.
    Solution A may have a cloudy white appearance. Add to the reaction as a uniform suspension.
    Assemble the reactions in the following order on ice: Solution A, Solution B, RNAse Inhibitor, Water, Template DNA or RNA
    Once reaction is assembled take time to make sure everything is thoroughly mixed by gently pipetting up and down, pulse spin and place at 37C for 2 to 4 hours.
