Abstract

See full text

A stable, single-stranded nucleoprotein filament adapted to complex specifically and stably with a target duplex DNA having a selected base sequence. The filament is composed of a single-stranded DNA probe having a region of homology with the target base sequence, and RecA protein bound stably to the DNA probe by adenosine 5'-(.gamma.-thio)triphosphate. The filament is useful in a novel system and method for enriching target duplex DNA which contains a region homologous to the probe sequence, for blocking selected restriction endonuclease sites in the target DNA, and in other DNA methodologies in which stable rapid triple-strand synaptic formation in duplex DNA can be exploited.
