Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) are used to characterize interactions between nucleic acids and proteins in native conditions. This is based on the fact that the electrophoretic mobility of a nucleic acid becomes slower when it forms complexes with proteins. There are many different variants and applications of this methodology. In this chapter we describe a detailed EMSA protocol applied to the study of asthma.
