Abstract

The method of gel-chromatography is used to determine the constants of DNA-protein binding. The complex consisting of multiwave scanning chromatograph «Milichrom» and computer «Iskra-226» is used as a registering device. The software for this complex allows determining DNA and protein concentrations at any moment. Information on time dependence of DNA and protein concentrations is used to determine the constants of DNA-protein binding. The method is applied to investigate the interaction of RNA-polymerase of E. coli by a number of plasmids and four one-stranded oligodesoxyribonucleotides — ihe fragments of E. coli promoters.
