For further reading on effects of sequence on structure, “Understanding DNA-The Molecule and How it Works” By Calladine and Drew Major Conclusion: DNA structure can depend on sequence In predictable, yet complicated ways. Therefore, DNA binding proteins can recognize structure, And they can be designed to bind to highly flexible DNA. 免疫学信息网 http://www.immuneweb.com
