Chapter 3, Problem 11TYU

Summary Introduction

To explain:

What type of amino acids are present in the DNA-binding region of proteins.

Concept introduction:

DNA-binding proteins are a specific type of protein that contain DNA-binding domains. They possess a high affinity toward single or double-stranded DNA molecules. These DNA-binding proteins interact with DNA molecules at a major or minor groove of the DNA structure. These proteins help in modulating the function of DNA, for example, transcription.
