  • Dissociation constants on the order of micromolar seem to be required to detect interactions in yeast two-hybrid assays.

  • Most proteins are present in the cell at well below millimolar concentrations, so in order for two proteins to spend the majority of their time bound to each other, micromolar dissociation constants would be required to form even a “weak, transient” complex Nooren, I.

  • So a viral protein that bound a cell surface protein with a modest dissociation constant of one micromolar or better should be sufficient.
