What is "pretty bad cell free"?

• koeng 6y ago
  If you burst open the cells and extract all the goop inside, you can use that goop to express proteins. For certain organisms, like E.coli, this works quite well, and you can get a significant amount of protein. For others, like JCVI-Syn3, the goop sucks at expressing protein. So it’s a “pretty bad cell free” [expression platform]
