A simplified method to produce mRNAs and functional proteins from synthetic double-stranded DNA templates
We present a method to synthesize mRNAs from synthetic DNA templates that produce biologically active proteins. To illustrate utility, we constructed five unique synthetic DNA templates, produced mRNAs and demonstrated biologic activity of their translated proteins. Examples include secreted lucifer...

description | We present a method to synthesize mRNAs from synthetic DNA templates that produce biologically active proteins. To illustrate utility, we constructed five unique synthetic DNA templates, produced mRNAs and demonstrated biologic activity of their translated proteins. Examples include secreted luciferase, enhanced green fluorescence protein, IL-4, and IL-12A and IL-12B to form active IL-12. We propose that this method offers a cost- and time-saving alternative to plasmid-based cloning. |
