Escherichia coli cell extract-based coupled transcription-translation cell-free system has been developed for large-scale production of protein samples for both X-ray crystallography (selenomethionine substitution) and NMR (stable-isotope labeling). For both cases, higher labeling/substitution efficiency can be achieved compared with the production using cell-based expression system. In addition, as the system is easily adapted to automated and/or high-throughput procedures, it is an especially suitable protein expression method for structural genomics and proteomics project. In this chapter, the procedure for large-scale protein production for structure determination using our E. coli cell-free system is presented.
