Hi , yes as *Konstantin* said if u have cysteine residue in ur any one of protein u can label that protein with Pyrene malemide or oregon malemide or other fluorescence dye then remove the dye by desalting column. titrate with second protein and do fluorescence anisotropy experiment to get the KD value (stochiometry).
one more thing u can do. u can add kinase motif in one of ur protein by re-cloning and then label with labelled ATP and then do EMSA with other protein. regards On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 9:13 AM, Konstantin v.
