A DNase footprinting assay is a DNA footprinting technique used in molecular biology/biochemistry that detects DNA-protein interaction by leveraging the fact that a protein bound to DNA often protects it from enzymatic cleavage. This makes it possible to locate a protein binding site on a particular DNA molecule.
