Photo-induced cross-linking (PIC) is a powerful strategy for generating information on biomolecular interactions. In PIC, the utility of traditional cross-linking methods is supplemented by the temporal control of photo-activation, enabling the study of non-covalent kinetic intermediates and heterogeneous mixtures. This tutorial review will introduce the photochemistry of activation, reactive intermediates, methods for the functionalisation of biomolecules and the installation of additional functionalities (e. g., affinity tags). In doing so, we shall illustrate the wealth of data that can be obtained using this approach, ranging from the identification of interacting partners and structural data to temporal information. Alongside a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches, their applicability to different types of biological system will be described.
