Whereas spatial organisation of function is ubiquitous in biology, it has been lacking in artificial cells. We rectify this by using multi-compartment vesicles as chassis for artificial cells, allowing distinct biological processes to be isolated in space. This is demonstrated by in vitro synthesis of two proteins in predefined vesicle regions.
虽然功能的空间组织在生物学中无处不在,但在人工细胞中却一直缺乏。我们通过使用多隔室囊泡作为人工细胞的底盘来纠正这一问题,使不同的生物过程能够在空间中被分隔开。在预定义的囊泡区域中体外合成两种蛋白质就证明了这一点。
