Spontaneous and specific chemical cross-linking in live cells to capture and identify protein interactions

Proteins associate via weak and transient interactions that are challenging to identify in vivo. Here, the authors use a genetically encoded chemical cross-linker to covalently lock interacting proteins in live cells, allowing them to identify the captured proteins by mass spectrometry.
