gel retardation

a method of determining protein-binding sites on DNA molecules, by virtue of the reduced mobility of protein-bound DNA relative to unbound DNA in GEL ELECTROPHORESIS.

Common techniques for this include hybridization of a specific probe to the PCR product after Southern blotting or by liquid hybridization followed by gel retardation analysis (12,14,17).

One aliquot was analyzed by liquid hybridization followed by gel retardation. The second PCR aliquot was analyzed by a different operator in a blinded fashion directly by microchip electrophoresis using an instrument built in-house from commercially available components.

Agarose Gel Retardation. SS-PEI/DNA complexes were prepared by adding a HEPES buffer solution (20 mM, pH 7.4) of SS-PeI (10 [micro]L, varying concentrations) to a HEPES solution of DNA (10 [micro]L, 80 [micro]g/mL), followed by vortexing for 5 s, and the dispersions were incubated for 30 min at room temperature.
