Abstract excerpt
A lambda-repressor mutant, S228N, which is defective in tetramer formation in the free state but retains full cooperativity, was studied in detail. Isolated single operator-bound S228N repressor shows association properties similar to those of the wild-type repressor. Fluorescence anisotropy studies with dansyl chloride-labeled repressor show a dimer-monomer dissociation constant of around 10(-5) M. The structure...
