Abstract
The feasibility of a direct measurement of sliding of proteins along a DNA chain by the fluorescence photobleaching recovery technique is demonstrated. The results obtained with a protein, histone H1, provides a firm basis for the understanding of the "facilitated diffusion" mechanism by which site-specific DNA binding proteins are thought to find efficiently their unique loci.
