Abstract

Quantitative footprinting techniques allow a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic forces that characterize nucleic acid-ligand interactions and ligand-induced changes in nucleic acid structure by separately resolving the intrinsic and cooperative Gibbs free energy changes describing the reactions being investigated. A new implementation of the quantitative footprinting technique is the application of stopped-flow techniques to the study of kinetic reactions.
