Therefore, the goal of this protocol is to characterize the conformational states of an endogenous protein of interest. Here, we present a protocol for assessing protein self-assembly in cell lysates using chemical cross-linking. We describe steps for chemical cross-linking with recombinant proteins as well as steps for cell culture and cell lysate preparation, chemical cross-linking, SDS-PAGE, and western blotting for the detection of endogenous proteins. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Balaji et al.1.
