Covalentbonds are stronger than non-covalentprotein-protein or protein-small molecule interactions. This technology is an in vivo system in which a covalent bond can be formed between any two proteins in a cell-type specific manner for the purpose of immunoprecipitation, visualization, or modifying the activity of a target protein.

Most research in the life sciences requires protein based assays, underscoring the importance of characterizing protein modifications and protein interactions. Using a high throughput approach, the proposed method would enable researchers to identify unknown proteins using fluorescent dyes. This technology uses enzymes to break down peptide bonds and fluorescent dyes to label specific amino acids that are subsequently detected by their fluorescent intensity.
