The present invention presents construction of a detection method
requiring no step of removing free biotin during preparation of a
biotinylated protein having a biotin tag, in a detection method of a
substance interacting with a protein, and studied various preparation
methods of the biotinylated protein. In order to solve the
above-mentioned problem, the present inventor has found that in a
cell-free protein synthesizing system, in particular, a wheat embryo
cell-free protein synthesizing system, when biotinylation is performed
during or after protein's synthesis, the biotinylation of the protein can
be attained in an remarkably lower concentration of the biotin than that
in the conventional biotinylation operations, and has accomplished the
present invention by using the protein having the biotin tag in each
detection system.
