Abstract
Binding of nuclear proteins to the promoter region was studied by a nonradioactive gel-retardation assay. The procedure uses biotinylated oligonucleotides in combination with streptavidin and biotin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase. This method offers sensitivity comparable to radioactive detection, and the advantage of the high stability of probes. Moreover the hazards of usage associated with radiation are avoided.
