Hydrophobic Amino Acids as Universal Elements of Protein-Induced DNA Structure Deformation
Interaction with the DNA minor groove is a significant contributor to specific sequence recognition in selected families of DNA-binding proteins. Based on a statistical analysis of 3D structures of protein–DNA complexes, we propose that distortion of the DNA minor groove resulting from interactions...
