Abstract excerpt
The gene 32 protein (gp32) of bacteriophage T4 is the essential single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein required for phage DNA replication and recombination. gp32 binds ssDNA with high affinity and cooperativity, forming contiguous clusters that optimally configure the ssDNA for recognition by DNA polymerase or recombination enzymes. The precise roles of gp32 affinity and cooperativity in promoting...
