We describe a rapid and sensitive method to isolate sets of high-affinity binding sites for sequence-specific DNA binding proteins. The DNA binding domain of the protein is expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion with glutathione S-transferase (GST). Binding reactions are set up with total soluble

β¦ Synopsis
An affinity matrix was constructed by synthesis of a DNA oligonucleotide on a Teflon fiber support followed by deblocking and hybridization of the complementary strand. It was used to purify a sequence-specific binding protein at least 100-fold to near homogeneity. This matrix is easily fabricated on an automated DNA synthesizer, contains high levels of attached DNA, and has superior mechanical properties. It should be generally useful for affinity chromatography of DNA binding proteins.

## Abstract ## Background The application of serotype 5 adenoviruses (Ad5) in macrophages is hampered by the absence of the endogenous coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR). ## Methods To overcome this limitation, we first generated a linker protein consisting of the virusβbinding domain of CAR an
