Abstract
A method of producing a protein crystal including adding, to a protein synthesis system, a nucleic acid that encodes crystalline protein; and incubating the protein synthesis system during the predetermined time until the crystalline protein encoded by the added nucleic acid is expressed and the expressed crystalline protein completes the formation of crystals. The protein synthesis system is a cell-free protein synthesis system.
Claims3
