The present invention provides a cell-free protein synthesis method
characterized by a cell-free protein synthesis reaction solution that is
weakly reducing and suitable for protein folding, performing a weakly
reducing synthesis reaction, and preferably performing a translation
reaction with the further addition of a substance catalyzing a disulfide
bond exchange reaction at the beginning of the translation reaction. This
method allows for proper formation of intramolecular disulfide bonds in
the protein and efficiently provides protein having substantially the
same function as the original protein. Specifically, it provides antibody
protein that binds specifically to an antigen.
