ABSTRACT:
An in vitro method for detecting protein-protein interactions is provided, in which two fusion proteins are prepared and allowed to interact with each other in a substantially cell free environment. The interaction between the two fusion proteins leads to protein trans-splicing, generating an active and detectable reporter.
