What is the charge on your protein? If it is a very positively charged protein it may not enter the gel. I have found this before in EMSAs but normally at low protein concentrations it still enters the gel only at the higher concs it does not. I had to change protein to DNA ratio and also the pe

Dear Community, Sorry for this off topic question. I am dealing with a non specific DNA binding protein. In a non radio-labelled EMSA DNA:protein titration experiment when I EtBr stained the 5% native acrylamide gel, I could see the DNA control (101 bps) but as the amount of my protein increases I
