Abstract excerpt
Switching between the active (ATP and DNA bound) and inactive conformations of the homologous recombination RecA protein is regulated by ATP hydrolysis. First, we use the homologous pairing domain of RecA derived from its mobile loop L2 to show that the interaction of this random coil peptide with the gamma-phosphate of ATP results in a peptide beta-conformation similar to that previously shown to be induced by...
