In the case of detecting whether or not a binding site of a transcription factor TFIID and a transcription factor TFIIB is present in a labeled DNA, the presence of a binding site can be detected precisely by adding all of a transcription factor TFIID, a transcription factor TFIIB and an anti-TFIIB antibody to a DNA-containing solution, and obtaining a translational diffusion time of the binding product by FCS-measurement. Information for obtaining a translational diffusion time is obtained, by mixing the sample and measuring it by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and as a result, detection result can be simply obtained in a short time, without performing troublesome operation such as utilization of a radioisotope and selection by an electrophoresis method or immobilization of a molecule on a solid substrate.
