title: A new assay format for NF-kappaB based on a DNA triple helix and a fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
abstract: Herein we report a feasibility study for a new concept to detect DNA binding protein NF-kappaB based on a DNA triple helix formation in combination with a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The new principle avoids expensive antibodies and radioactivity and might have implications for assays of other DNA binding proteins.
