Phospholipids are important biomolecules for the study of lipidomics, signal transduction, biodiesel, and synthetic biology; however, it is difficult to synthesize and analyze phospholipids in a defined in vitro condition. Here, we present a protocol for in vitro production and quantification of phospholipids. We describe steps for preparing a cell-free system consisting of fatty acid synthesis and a gene expression system that synthesizes acyltransferases on liposomes. The whole reaction can be completed within a day and the products are quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Eto et al..
磷脂是脂质组学、信号转导、生物柴油和合成生物学研究的重要生物分子;然而,在确定的体外条件下合成和分析磷脂是困难的。在这里,我们提出了一种在体外生产和定量磷脂的方案。我们描述了制备无细胞体系的步骤,该体系包括脂肪酸合成和基因表达系统,该系统在脂质体上合成酰基转移酶。整个反应可以在一天内完成,产物通过液相色谱-质谱法进行定量。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Eto 等人的研究。
