T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB) was used to end label oligomers using γ-32P ATP in T4 PNK buffer (NEB) as described before38 (link). Reaction was incubated for 1 h at 37 °C and then stopped using 10 mM Tris-1 mM EDTA buffer. Labelled substrates were purified using Sephadex G-25 column and then stored at −20 °C until use. Annealing of complementary oligomers was done by boiling oligomers for 10 minutes in the presence of 100 mM NaCl and 1 mM EDTA, in 1:5 ratio (labelled: unlabelled)37 (link),38 (link).
