Abstract

The invention relates to a method of characterising a target polynucleotide using a single-stranded binding protein (SSB). The SSB is either an SSB comprising a carboxy-terminal (C-terminal) region which does not have a net negative charge or a modified SSB comprising one or more modifications in its C-terminal region which decreases the net negative charge of the C-terminal region.
