Abstract: This invention provides plasmids that are useful in detecting and determining the DNA-binding activity of sequence-specific DNA-binding molecules. The invention further provides plasmids that are useful in detecting and determining the activity of KNA polymerases in initiating transcription. In particular, the invention relates to plasmids that contain unique restriction sites and cognate nucleotide recognition sequences for sequence-specific DNA-binding molecules. Also provided are methods for using the plasmids disclosed herein.
