During study, cloning of a eukaryotic gene for possible specific transcription factor is followed by insertino and ligation of gene into an expression vector. Protein translated from thsi gene is then studied on a protein blot under non denaturing conditions and probed with 32P-DNA to assess capability of encoded protein to bind to specific sequences of DNA. 1. What study technique was most likely used and why?
