Chapter 16.2, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The common features of DNA-binding motifs.
Introduction: Regulatory protein or gene regulatory protein that is transcribed from the DNA molecule by the transcription process with the help of RNA polymerase enzyme. These regulatory proteins include transcription factors that help to control protein synthesis in cells.
