METHOD OF ENRICHING AND/OR SEPARATING PROKARYOTIC DNA BY MEANS OF A PROTEIN WHICH SPECIFICALLY BINDS DNA CONTAINING NON-METHYLATED CPG MOTIFS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for separating and/or enriching prokaryoticDNA, comprising the following steps: a) contacting of at least one prokaryoticDNA that is in solution with a protein that bonds specifically to prokaryoticDNA, said protein being 25 %-35 % homologous with the wild-type CGPB protein,thus forming a protein-DNA complex; and b) separation of the complex. Theinvention also relates to a kit for carrying out said method.
