Mapping the structural and dynamical features of multiple p53 DNA binding domains : insights into loop 1 intrinsic dynamics by Lukman, Suryani., Lane, David P., Verma, Chandra S.

“…Loop 1 occupies two major conformational states: extended and recessed; the former but not the latter displays correlations in atomic fluctuations with those of loop 2 (~24 Å apart). Since loop 1 binds to the major groove whereas loop 2 binds to the minor groove of DNA, our results begin to provide some insight into the possible mechanism underpinning the cooperative nature of DBD binding to DNA. …”
