Protein–DNA Interaction: Detection Techniques and Protocol

Authors

Keywords:

DNA, Protein

Abstract

DNA-binding proteins control cellular processes and cell cycles like recombination, replication and record. This survey is expected to sum up the absolute most regularly utilised methods to decide DNA-protein cooperations. In vitro methods like foot printing tests, electrophoretic versatility shift measure, southwestern blotting, yeast one-cross breed
tests, phage show and vicinity ligation examine have been talked about. Rotine-DNA interactions are important in a variety of biological activities, including gene control, DNA replication, repair, transcription, recombination, and chromosomal DNA packaging. Proteins recognise a sequence by possessing a surface that is chemically complementary to the DNA’s, resulting in a succession of favourable electrostatic and van der Waals interactions between the protein and the base pairs.
