To understand the structure-function relationship of muscle-regulatory-protein isoforms, mutations, and posttranslational modifications, it is necessary to probe functional effects at the level of the protein-protein interaction. Traditional methodologies assessing such protein-protein interactions are laborious and require significant amounts of purified protein, while many current methodologies require costly and specialized equipment or modification of the proteins, which may affect their interaction. To address these issues, we developed a novel method of microplate-based solid-phase protein-binding assay over the recent years. This method assesses specific protein-protein interactions at physiological conditions, utilizes relatively small amounts of protein, is free of protein modification, and does not require specialized instrumentation. Here we present detailed methodology for the solid-phase protein-binding assay with examples that we have successfully applied to quantify interactions of myofilament-regulatory proteins. We further provide considerations for optimization of the assay conditions and its broader application in studies of other protein-protein interactions.

Abstract We describe a precise, specific method for measuring 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in human serum. A 2-mL serum sample is extracted with acetonitrile and passed through a Sep-Pak C-18 cartridge. The sample is further purified by "high-performance" liquid chromatography under isocratic conditions on a normal-phase column (Radial-Pak silica-gel cartridge), then subjected to a protein-binding assay. The mean concentration of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in serum from 22 normal adults (measured during the spring) was 2.9 micrograms/L (SD 1.9, range 6.3-0.42 microgram/L). The intra-assay CV was 7.7%, the interassay CV 11.2%. Purification of the sample with Sep-Pak C-18 and liquid chromatography on normal plus reversed-phase columns leads to a mean value of 3.4 micrograms/L (SD 1.6 micrograms/L, n = 12), not significantly different from results with our method.
