“Small magnetic beads in combination with a flow-through column system gave the best results for bait sequence coverage by MS, detection of interaction partners, and robustness while keeping background proteins at acceptable levels.”
“The small beads provide a large surface to volume ratio and consequently favorable binding kinetics as well as short incubation times . . .”
HubnerandMannet. al.(2010)JCB189:739–754.
