Abstract:Monitoring of DNA-protein interactions is essential in understanding many biological processes. Proteins must find their target site on a DNA molecule to perform their function, and the mechanisms for target search differ across proteins. Revealing temporal interactions with two target sites, both in Cis and in Trans, is crucial in target search mechanisms studies. Here, we present two single-molecule Forster resonance energy transfer (smFRET)-based assays to study BfiI-DNA interactions. The first assay, smFRE… Show more
