Many pharmacologically important target molecules, e.g. membrane proteins, cannot be made using standard synthesis methods or only in insufficient amounts and with insufficient function. To overcome this limitation of cell-based production and to produce proteins that are difficult to express, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has initiated an strategic interdisciplinary project at the interface of engineers and life scientists with funding from the BMBF. By joint research on a sustainable and efficient production process, cell-free technology can be adapted to industrial scale.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
