Biochemistry Cell-Free Production of Proteoliposomes for Functional Analysis and Antibody Development Targeting Membrane Proteins Wei Zhou1, Hiroyuki Takeda2 1Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University, 2Proteo-Science Center, Ehime University This protocol describes an efficient cell-free method for production of high-quality proteoliposome by bilayer-dialysis method using wheat cell-free system and liposomes. This method provides suitable means for functional analysis of membrane proteins, drug targets screening, and antibody development.
