    We introduce a novel electrophoretic method, nonequilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM), and demonstrate its use for studying protein-DNA interactions. The equilibrium mixture of protein and DNA contains three components: free protein, free DNA, and the protein-DNA complex. A short plug of such a mixture is injected into the capillary, and the three components are separated under nonequilibrium conditions. The resulting electropherograms are composed of characteristic peaks and exponential curves. An easy nonnumerical analysis of a single electropherogram reveals two parameters: the equilibrium binding constant and the monomolecular rate constant of complex decay. The bimolecular rate constant of complex formation can then be calculated as the product of the two experimentally determined constants. NECEEM was applied to study the interaction between single-stranded DNA binding protein and a fluorescently labeled 15-mer oligonucleotide. It allowed us to measure for the first time the rate constant of complex decay for this important protein-DNA pair, k-1 = 0.03 s-1. The value of the equilibrium binding constant, Kb = 3.6 x 10-6 M-1, was in good agreement with those measured by other methods. As low as 10-18 mol of the protein was sufficient for the measurements. Thus, the new method is simple, informative, and highly sensitive. Moreover, it can be equally applied to other noncovalent protein-ligand complexes. These features of NECEEM make this method an indispensable tool in studies of macromolecular interactions. They also emphasize the potential role of NECEEM in the development of extremely sensitive protein assays using nucleotide aptamers.
