<br>By using immunofluorescence microscopy we were able to test the 2 main steps to achieving our goal. We looked at whether our anchor proteins were being expressed, as well as the binding between our zinc fingers and their unique binding domains. | <br>By using immunofluorescence microscopy we were able to test the 2 main steps to achieving our goal.
