As this method involves at least 2 rounds of washing, it may not be suitable for screening transient protein interactions, unlike the yeast two-hybrid method or in vivo crosslinking with photo-reactive amino acid analogs. However, it is a good method for testing stable protein interactions and allows various degrees of investigation by controlling the number of times the protein complex is purified.
