  • Rapid method for identifying polypeptide-nucleic acid interactions
    Patent number: 8536100
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for analysing interactions of a nucleic acid with at least one polypeptide, comprising (a) providing a reaction vessel with a composition comprising cross-linked complexes comprising at least one nucleic acid and at least one polypeptide; (b) immobilizing at least part of the cross-linked complexes to the reaction vessel; (c) at least partially reversing said cross-links in said immobilized complexes by performing a heat incubation step thereby at least partially releasing the nucleic acids from the complexes; (d) analyzing the released nucleic acid. wherein steps (a) to (d) are performed in one reaction vessel. Also provided are specific reaction vessels and kits.
