See AnswerQ: An electrophoretic mobility shift assay can be used to study the binding
An electrophoretic mobility shift assay can be used to study the binding of proteins to a segment of DNA. In the experiment shown here, an EMSA was used to examine the requirements for the binding of...
See AnswerQ: In the technique of DNase I footprinting, the binding of a
In the technique of DNase I footprinting, the binding of a protein to a region of DNA protects that region from digestion by DNase I by blocking the ability of DNase I to gain access to the DNA. In th...
