“…Sketching a map of protein–protein interactions (PPI) is a significant topic of system biology and an important step towards understanding protein functions and cellular behaviors [1]. Different experimental techniques (in vivo or in vitro) have made significant efforts to study the constant nature of protein interaction sites and screen a large number of protein interaction partners (Figure 1), such as two-hybrid (Y2H) screens, Tandem affinity purification mass spectroscopy (TAP-MS), protein microarrays, mating-based split-ubiquitin system (mbSUS), pulldown assays, dual polarization interferometry (DPI), NMR-based method for mapping the structural interactions (STINT-NMR), bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), protein complex immune precipitation (Co-IP) [2,3,4,5], and so on. Among these experimental techniques, some high-throughput methods such as Y2H, TAP-MS, protein chips, etc.…”
