Abstract in brief

Current intracellular protein analysis often requires disrupting organelles or altering the cell's environment, but proteins work best in their natural conditions where they interact with various molecules.
Researchers introduced a new technique using PLGA nanoparticles to deliver cross-linkers specifically to mitochondria in living cells, allowing for analysis of protein interactions.
This method identified 74 unique protein-protein interactions, particularly among mitochondrial respiratory chain proteins, matching existing structural data and offering a valuable tool for studying proteins in their native environments.
