“…They have been used to examine activities of proteins, such as protein-protein interaction (PPI) (6)(7)(8), E3 ubiquitin ligase activity (8), protein abundance (7,9), receptor binding (10), aggregation (11,12), and activity within signaling pathways (13). The functional assays used to achieve enrichment or depletion of variants are equally diverse and include for example fitness or cell growth (6,7,11,12), different reporter assays coupled with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) (9,10,13,14), and protein display (8,15).…”
