A capillary electrophoresis method has been developed to study DNA-protein complexes by mobility-shift assay. This method is at least 100 times more sensitive than conventional gel mobility-shift procedures. Key features of the technique include the use of a neutral coated capillary, a small amount of linear polymer in the separation medium, and use of covalently dye-labeled DNA probes that can be detected with a commercially available laser-induced fluorescence monitor.
