I am doing EMSA and I have question. Why do we need to transfer the DNA-Protein complex on nylon membrane? Why can't we dry the gel? If anyone has the answer for this please let me know.
I think just because of the gel is easy to break down at the next step of proceed in the method. And you can not store the gel for long time, but you can do that with nylon membrane. I recommend that you should replace nylon membrane by polyvunylindene difluoride membrane
