    Abstract: The invention includes a mutant T7 DNA ligase or a biologically active fragment thereof, which has greater activity than wild type T7 DNA ligase, on a blunt-ended dsDNA substrate. The mutant T7 DNA ligase, or the biologically active fragment, has one or more substitutions differing from the wild type, which are E63K (SEQ ID NO:3; SEQ ID NO:4), D132R (SEQ ID NO:5; SEQ ID NO:6), E243K (SEQ ID NO:7; SEQ ID NO: 8), D245R (SEQ ID NO:9; SEQ ID NO: 10), E272K (SEQ ID NO:11; SEQ ID NO: 12), D288R (SEQ ID NO:13; SEQ ID NO:14), E289K (SEQ ID NO:15; SEQ ID NO: 16), and E292K (SEQ ID NO:17; SEQ ID NO:18).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing an RNA molecule of a given sequence, comprising the step of determining the fraction (1) for each of the four nucleotides G, A, C and U in said RNA molecule, and the step of synthesizing said RNA molecule by in vitro transcription in a sequence-optimized reaction mix, wherein said sequence-optimized reaction mix comprises the four ribonucleoside triphosphates GTP, ATP, CTP and UTP, wherein the fraction (2) of each of the four ribonucleoside triphosphates in the sequence-optimized reaction mix corresponds to the fraction (1) of the respective nucleotide in said RNA molecule, a buffer, a DNA template, and an RNA polymerase.
    Further, the present invention relates to a bioreactor (1) for synthesizing RNA molecules of a given sequence, the bioreactor (1) having a reaction module (2) for carrying out in vitro RNA transcription reactions in a sequence-optimized reaction mix, a capture module (3) for temporarily capturing the transcribed RNA molecules, and a control module (4) for controlling the infeed of components of the sequence-optimized reaction mix into the reaction module (2), wherein the reaction module (2) comprises a filtration membrane (21) for separating nucleotides from the reaction mix, and the control of the infeed of components of the sequence-optimized reaction mix by the control module (4) is based on a measured concentration of separated nucleotides.
