We have developed a technique for cross-linking DNA binding proteins to DNA using psoralen furanside monoadducts as photoaffinity probes and a continuous-wave argon ion laser (366 nm) as a light source. Several DNA binding proteins (T7 RNA polymerase, UvrB, single-stranded

Oligonucleotides can bind as third strands of DNA in a sequence-specific manner in the major groove in homopurine/homopyrimidine stretches in duplex DNA. Here we use a 10-base triplex-forming oligonucleotide linked to a psoralen derivative at its 5' end to achieve
