What Techniques are Used to Study Dimeric Protein Complexes?
Several biochemical and biophysical techniques are employed to study dimeric protein complexes, including:
- [X-ray Crystallography](): Provides high-resolution structures of protein complexes. - [Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP)](): Used to detect protein-protein interactions. - [Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)](): Measures the binding kinetics of protein interactions. - [Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM)](): Offers detailed images of protein complexes in near-native states.
