We have employed biotin-labeled RNA to serve two functions. In one, the biotin tethers the RNA to streptavidin–agarose beads, creating an affinity resin for protein purification. In the other, the biotin functions as a label for use in a modified chemiluminescent electromobility shift assay (EMSA), a technique used to detect the formation of protein–RNA complexes. The EMSA that we describe avoids the use not only of radioactivity but also of neurotoxic acrylamide by using agarose as the gel matrix in which the free nucleic acid is separated from protein–nucleic acid complexes. After separation of free from complexed RNA in agarose, …
