Abstract excerpt
We describe a rapid method for initial localization of protein/DNA-binding sites in large DNA segments, even when biological information is limited. The procedure combines the gel retardation assay with bidirectional deletion analysis using restriction enzymes. Electrophoresis of binding reactions with a bidirectional set of progressively shortened probes results in a stairway pattern of both uncomplexed DNA and...
