Selection and amplification binding assay (SAAB) is a molecular biology technique developed by T. Keith Blackwell and Harold Weintraub in 1990. Its major use is to find the DNA binding site for proteins.

Experimental details

SAAB experimental procedure consists of several steps, depending upon the knowledge available about the binding site. A typical SAAB consists of the following steps
