Question

You are studying a particular protein we'll call YFP (for Your Favorite Protein). You hypothesize that YFP binds tightly to other proteins in the cell and wish to identify those proteins. Which technique discussed in lecture will most directly allow you to achieve your goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

A Co-immunoprecipitation experiment

Explanation:

Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) is a popular technique to identify physiologically relevant protein–protein interactions by using target protein-specific antibodies to indirectly capture proteins that are bound to a specific target protein.
