Abstract excerpt
We generated minimalist proteins capable of sequence-specific, high-affinity binding of DNA to probe how proteins are used and can be used to recognize DNA. In order to quantify binding affinities and specificities in our protein-DNA system, we used fluorescence anisotropy to measure in situ the thermodynamics of binding of alanine-rich mutants of the GCN4 basic region/leucine zipper (bZIP) domain to DNA duplexes...
