DNA-Binding Proteins
DNA Binding Proteins: DNA-binding proteins are proteins composed of DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for either single or double stranded DNA. Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins generally interact with the major groove of B-DNA, because it exposes more functional groups that identify a base pair..
