The only additional step required for this method is to transfer the separated protein and DNA samples onto an appropriate membrane support. When used with an appropriate substrate, the biotin-streptavidin system is very robust and can be ...
Gel shift assays need not be limited to protein–DNA interactions. Protein–RNA and protein–peptide interactions have also been studied using the same electrophoretic principle. Overview of the gel shift assay method. The gel shift assay c...
The gel electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) is used to detect protein complexes with nucleic acids. It is the core technology underlying a wide range of qualitative and quantitative analyses for the characterization of interacting systems. In the classical assay, solutions of protein and nucle...
Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis || The Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) for Detection and Analysis of Protein-DNA Interactions The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is a well-established method to detect formation of complexes between proteins and nucleic acids and to det...

Hapten-modified DNA probes can be visualized via secondary detection reagents such as streptavidin or anti-DIG antibodies in systems with enzymatic substrates similar to those used for western blotting. The only additional step required for...
While these procedures localize a DNA binding protein to a particular complex and may imply,the existence of a dimer, they do not actually prove the existence of a protein-protein interaction. We have designed a method that combines immunodeptetion with the EMSA/supershift assay (IDEMSA) to ...

Regardless of the method of purification, it should be mentioned that it is preferable to generate affinity-tagged Rgg's in such a way as to allow for removal the affinity tag from Rgg prior to use in EMSA assays, thereby helping to ensure that the tag is not interfering with the DNA-...
