“…The protein is purified E. coli cyclic AMP receptor protein (CAP) 49,67 and the nucleic acid is a 214 bp restriction fragment from the E. coli lac promoter-operator region 48 . The binding buffer consists of 10 mM Tris (pH 7.5 at 20°C), 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM DTT, 20 μM cyclic AMP, 5% v/v glycerol, 0.010 mg/mL BSA and the electrophoresis was carried out in a 10% w/v polyacrylamide (75:1 acrylamide:bisacrylamide) gel, cast in 40 mM Tris-acetate, 2.5 mM EDTA (pH 7.8 at 20°C) and run in 40 mM Tris-acetate, 2.5 mM EDTA (pH 7.8 at 20°C), supplemented with 20μM cyclic AMP.…”
