For the analysis of protein-DNA interactions by coupled gel-
shift/footprinting, DNA fragments need to be extracted from polyacrylamide
gels and subsequently separated on high resolution gels. Due to impurities
in the extracted DNA, single nucleotide resolution is frequently not
achieved. We now describe an improved experimental strategy that employs
transient coupling of DNA fragments to a solid support in order to extract
DNA of high purity quantitatively, rapidly and reliably. As an example, we
describe the application of our protocol to the 'in-gel footprinting' by
copper phenanthroline. The method should also find application to the
chemical interference assays.
