Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2. shows us that the synthesis of GFPmut3b increases with DNA added.

Discussion
Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2. shows us that the synthesis of GFPmut3b increases with DNA added. Though as was expected because of the nature of the cell free chassis (optimum DNA concentration = 4µg), the molecules of GFPmut3b synthesised increases with increasing DNA concentration, even after a concentration of 4µg. But the increase in fluorescent moecules synthesised by increasing DNA concentration is not very big. If DNA concentration is increased from 2µg to 6µg (a percentage increase of 200%), it reuslts in only about 15% increase (at 360min) in GFPmut3b molecules synthesised.
Another interesting observation is that the 6µg of DNA begins producing GFPmut3b greater than 2µg but then levels of before 2µg. This is thought to be because the data displayed on the figures are averages of 2 samples, one of the samples levels off sooner than the other and so brings the average down. However, the results do tell us that 6µg is lower than the 4µg, therefore the 4µg is the optimum DNA for our in vitro chassis.
This agrees with promegas guide on using the commcerial cell extract in vitro chassis. The guide states that 4µg is the maximum and above this there is problems with premature termination of translational products
Conclusion
To conclude the following approximations can be made:
Optimum DNA concentrations - 4µg of DNA
