A mobility shift assay is electrophoretic separation of a proteinâDNA or proteinâRNA mixture on a polyacrylamide or agarose gel for a short period (about 1.5-2 hr for a 15- to 20-cm gel).
1. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was established as a method to detect DNA binding proteins (Fried & Crothers, 1981). The principle being that a nucleic acid with protein bound, has less mobility through a gel matrix than free nucleic acid.
