| abstract |
The invention provides a novel nucleic acid binding assay, which is useful for assessing the sequence-dependence of the binding of ligands to nucleic acid molecules, as well as for determining the affinity of the binding interaction. The invention also provides a selection method based on this nucleic acid binding assay. This selection method allows co-selection of ligands and the nucleic acid molecules that they bind. Additionally, the invention provides kits that can be used for carrying out the methods of the invention. |
