Key words used to describe the data: cell-free protein synthesis; design of experiments; synthetic biology ========================== Methodological information ========================== Cell-free protein synthesis reactions were performed under variable conditions and the impact on kinetics was analysed. Statistical Design of Experiments (screening and Response Surface Modelling) was used to analyse the data and models were subsequently validated by further experimental work. ======= Contact ======= Please contact rdm@ncl.ac.uk for further information
