Use IRDye® Labeled Oligonucleotides for Safer, Faster EMSA/Gel Shift Assays

The EMSA (electrophoretic mobility shift assay) is used to study protein:DNA complexes and interactions. Protein:DNA complexes migrate more slowly than unbound linear DNA on a non-denaturing gel, causing a “shift.” Also called “gel shift” or “gel retardation” assays, EMSA can … Continue reading
