Proximity-dependent Biotin Identification (BioID) Service

Introduction

Many methods for studying protein-protein interactions usually fail to capture low-affinity interactions, and after cell lysis and protein complex purification, some interactions have disappeared, which has caused difficulties for researchers. At present, Proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) has become a powerful tool for identifying candidate protein-protein interactions in living cells. This method uses a promiscuous biotin ligase fused with the target protein to covalently biotin label the protein, and capture and identify the interacting and neighboring proteins without keeping the protein complex intact. Compared with other technologies, BioID allows the detection of transient and weak interactions in a specific biological environment within a specific time.
