Chapter 6, Problem 16P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the helices bound to the DNA is likely to be amphiphilic should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The binding of Myc-Mac complex with DNA is represented as follows:

In Myc-Mac complex, they are members of DNA-binding proteins in the class of basic helix −loop-helix. Myc is red in color and Max is blue in color, both are coiled together, and DNA is bind to them as a dimer.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The location of the N- and C −termini for Max should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The binding of Myc-Mac complex with DNA is represented as follows:

In Myc-Mac complex, they are members of DNA-binding proteins in the class of basic helix −loop-helix. Myc is red in color and Max is blue in color, both are coiled together, and DNA is bind to them as a dimer.
