SummaryBinding affinity quantitatively describes the strength of a molecular interaction and is reported by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). Here, we present a protocol to measureKDof mammalian microRNA-loaded Argonaute2 protein by double filter binding. We describe steps for radiolabeling target RNA, measuring concentration of binding-competent protein, setting up binding reactions, separating protein-bound RNA from protein-unbound RNA, preparing library for Illumina sequencing, and performing data analysis. Our protocol is easily applied to other RNA- or DNA-binding proteins.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jouravleva et al.1
