title: Water-soluble conjugate of double-stranded DNA and Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for one-pot affinity precipitation separation of DNA-binding proteins.
abstract: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) having a terminal psoralen group was synthesized and covalently bound to plasmid pBR 322 DNA through a photochemical reaction. The resulting conjugate exhibited temperature-responsive precipitation due to the aggregation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains when heated above 31 degreesC. This system was used for the one-pot separation of restriction endonuclease EcoRI.
