Conjugation of ligands to different SNAP-tag fusions permits the validation of suspected interactions in cell extracts and fixed cells as well as the establishment of high-throughput assays. The different assays allow the analysis of strong and weak interactions. Conversion of ligands into SNAP-tag substrates thus provides access to a powerful toolbox for the analysis of their interactions with proteins.Throughput Screening AssaysDihydrofolate-ReductaseFluorescence PolarizationEscherichia-ColiSmall MoleculesIn-VivoBindingExpressionAffinityCellsExploiting Ligand-Protein Conjugates to Monitor Ligand-Receptor Interactionstext::journal::journal article::research article
