Abstract

Affinity purification-Mass spectroscopy (AP-MS) is a biochemical technique to identify the novel protein–protein interaction that occurs in the most relevant physiological conditions, whereas co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) is used to study the interaction between two known protein partners that are expressed in the native physiological conditions. Both AP-MS and Co-IP techniques are based on the ability of the interacting partners to pull-down with protein of interest. In this chapter, we have explained the AP-MS and Co-IP methods to study protein–protein interactions in the plant cells.
