Synthesis of functional protein in liposome

Abstract The liposome consisting of eggPC, cholesterol, and DSPE-PEG5000 with a molar ratio of 1.5:1:0.08 was used to entrap cell-free protein synthesis reaction mixture. The synthesis of a mutant green fluorescent protein in the liposome was confirmed by the fluorescence emitted from the liposome on flow cytometry analysis and fluorescence microscopy. The protein synthesized in the liposome is hence functional.
