BioBits pellets are tiny molecular factories that can create a variety of proteins, from brightly colored fluorescent proteins to functional enzymes – no fancy equipment or complicated protocols needed. Researchers have been using cell-free reactions in their laboratories for years, and now the BioBits cell-free system makes this cutting-edge technology accessible anywhere to anyone interested in learning molecular biology. In this activity, you will use BioBits cell-free technology to visualize the flow of genetic information and monitor transcription and translation in real time through fluorescence. Learn about the central dogma of molecular biology with cutting-edge synthetic biology – even in remote learning settings!
