Popis: An improved, rapid and inexpensive gel mobility shift assay was developed for the screening of anthracycline antibiotics. The assay based on the intercalation activity of these molecules into dsDNA was used to assess the activity of partially purified antibiotics. Detection limits were of 0.1 ng ml−1 with an average run time of 2 h. The assay is potentially useful for high throughput screening in bioprospecting, for monitoring fermentation production phases and downstream purification process.
