Simulation and analysis of in vitro DNA evolution [PDF]
We study theoretically the in vitro evolution of a DNA sequence by binding to a transcription factor. Using a simple model of protein-DNA binding and available binding constants for the Mnt protein, we perform large-scale, realistic simulations of ...

Statistical-mechanical lattice models for protein-DNA binding in chromatin [PDF]
Statistical-mechanical lattice models for protein-DNA binding are well established as a method to describe complex ligand binding equilibriums measured in vitro with purified DNA and protein components. Recently, a new field of applications has opened up

Liquid Luminescent DNA-precipitation Assay
Working on transcription factors requires studying interactions between protein and DNA. After identification of putative binding-sequences and motifs, Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) experiment is classically used to determine specific ...

Temperature-sensitive protein–DNA dimerizers [PDF]
Programmable DNA-binding polyamides coupled to short peptides have led to the creation of synthetic artificial transcription factors. A hairpin polyamide-YPWM tetrapeptide conjugate facilitates the binding of a natural transcription factor Exd to an ...

Targeting the Ets Binding Site of the HER2/neu Promoter with Pyrrole-Imidazole Polyamides [PDF]
Three DNA binding polyamides (1-3) were synthesized that bind with high affinity (Ka = 8.7·10^9 M^-1 to 1.4·10^10 M^-1) to two 7-base pair sequences overlapping the Ets DNA binding site (EBS; GAGGAA) within the regulatory region of the HER2/neu proximal ...

Grafting Miniature DNA Binding Proteins [PDF]
Miniature proteins serve as leads for biological and medicinal applications by positioning all amino acids necessary for biomolecular recognition on a compact protein structure. Protein grafting was recently used to create miniature helical proteins with high DNA binding affinity and specificity.

ProDFace: A web-tool for the dissection of protein-DNA interfaces
Protein-DNA interactions play a crucial role in gene expression and regulation. Identifying the DNA binding surface of proteins has long been a challenge–in comparison to protein-protein interactions, limited progress has been made in the development of ...

Multiplexed DNA-Modified Electrodes [PDF]
We report the use of silicon chips with 16 DNA-modified electrodes (DME chips) utilizing DNA-mediated charge transport for multiplexed detection of DNA and DNA-binding protein targets.

Investigating the DNA-Binding Site for VirB, a Key Transcriptional Regulator of Shigella Virulence Genes, Using an In Vivo Binding Tool [PDF]
The transcriptional anti-silencing and DNA-binding protein, VirB, is essential for the virulence of Shigella species and, yet, sequences required for VirB-DNA binding are poorly understood.
