The chapter will focus on the high level cell-free production of integral membrane proteins having multiple transmembrane segments by using an individual coupled transcription/translation system based on an Escherichia coli S30-extract. We describe in detail the setup and optimization of the cell-free expression technique to obtain the maximum yield of recombinant proteins. The protocol can be used for the expression of soluble membrane proteins as well as for their production as a precipitate. In addition, we will provide protocols for the efficient solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins directly from the cell-free produced precipitates.
