Abstract

Protein-protein interactions provide a common mechanism for regulating protein functions and also serve as the fundamental step of many biochemical reactions. To accurately determine the involvement and function of protein-protein interactions, it is crucial to detect the interactions with the minimum number of artifacts. In this chapter, we report the method of bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) in tissue culture and developing tissues of Drosophila, which allows the visualization of subcellular localization of protein-protein interactions in living cells.
