Abstract
Quantitative characterization of protein interactions, both intramolecular and intermolecular, is crucial in understanding the mechanisms and regulation of their function. In recent years, it has become possible to obtain such information on protein systems in live cells, from bacteria to mammalian cell lines. This review discusses recent advances in measuring protein folding, absolute concentration, oligomerization, diffusion, transport, and organization at super-resolution.
