What are the applications of immunoprecipitation?

Posted May 25, 2021


Answer

Immunoprecipitation is a precipitation technique that’s used to purify and enrich a protein of interest. This serves several purposes. It helps researchers to:

  • Identify the presence and activation status of proteins
  • Measure the size or molecular weight of a specific protein
  • Study protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions
  • Monitor post-translational protein modifications
  • Determine specific enzymatic activity
