The Role of Charge Density Coupled DNA Bending in ...
pubs.acs.org › doi › 10Jan 21, 2022 · The accurate reading of genetic information during transcription is essential for the expression of genes. Sequence binding specificity very often is attributed to short-range, usually specific interactions between amino acid residues and individual nucleotide bases through hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic contacts: “base readout” (direct readout). In contrast, many proteins recognize DNA ...
