Nuclease Protection Assays MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Nuclease Protection Assays
Tree Number(s)
E05.393.600
Unique ID
D023282
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D023282
Scope Note
Techniques for measuring specific nucleic acid interaction with another nucleic acid or with a protein by digestion of the non-interacting nucleic acid by various nucleases. After all non-interacting regions are eliminated by nuclease digestion, the protected nucleic acid that remains is analyzed. DNA FOOTPRINTING utilizes this technique to analyze the DNA contact sites of DNA-BINDING PROTEINS.
