Abstract: The Yeast two-hybrid(Y2H)system is a molecular biology approach to detect protein-protein interactions. A diverse series of technologies derived from it have emerged in the past 20 years, which makes this two-hybrid methodology system more complete and efficient. They have been among the most important and powerful tools to study ptotein-ligand interactions that widely used in functional genomics,proteomics and pathology study. This article provides an overview on the basic principles and application progress of Y2H system and some derived techniques.

Key words: Yeast two-hybrid(Y2H)system, Protein-protein interaction, Two-hybrid methodology system
