BiFC analysis is a technique used to investigate protein-protein interactions. This method leverages the reconstitution of fluorescent protein fragments, where a fluorescent protein (e.g., yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) or enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)) is divided into two non-fluorescent fragments, each fused to a different protein of interest. When these proteins interact within cells or in vitro, the protein fragments come into proximity and reassemble, restoring the fluorescence sign......
