DNase I Footprint Analysis of Protein‐DNA Binding

I (DNase I) protection mapping, or footprinting, is a valuable technique for locating the specific binding sites of proteins on DNA. The basis of this assay is that bound protein protects the phosphodiester backbone of DNA from DNase I?catalyzed hydrolysis

DNase I Footprinting

 An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract. The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average, every DNA molecule is cut once. Digestion products are then resolved

DNase I Footprinting of Small Molecule Binding Sites on DNA

to DNA. Here, the method is described and technical details are given for performing deoxyribonuclease (DNase) I footprinting with DNA-binding drugs. An example is presented where DNase I is used (as well as DNase II and micrococcal nuclease) to probe
