We demonstrate a simple, robust, and low-cost method for producing the PURE cell-free transcription-translation system. Our OnePot PURE system achieved a protein synthesis yield of 156 μg/mL at a cost of 0.09 USD/μL, leading to a 14-fold improvement in cost normalized protein synthesis yield over existing PURE systems. The one-pot method makes the PURE system easy to generate and allows it to be readily optimized and modified.
