Amerigo Scientific offers advanced Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening service for the comprehensive analysis of protein-protein interaction using extensively validated nuclear protein cDNA libraries. Coverage of over 100 species and expert bioinformatics support ensure high-quality results for research needs.
The yeast two-hybrid system is the primary method for studying protein interactions in living cells. The classical Gal4 transcription factor system is utilized, featuring a DNA-binding domain (BD) and a transcriptional activation domain (AD). When target proteins are fused to these domains, their interaction restores transcriptional activity, enabling precise detection of the protein-protein interaction.
