title: A simple procedure for detecting proteins that bind preferentially to kDNA networks.
abstract: A procedure is described in which a fractionated protein extract from the trypanosome Crithidia fasciculata was incubated either with deproteinized C. fasciculata kDNA networks or nuclear DNA. At least three proteins in the range of 45-65 kDa had a specific affinity for the networks. We suggest that these proteins may play an important role in the biology of the kinetoplast.
