Abstract excerpt
Pyrococcus woesei ( Pw ) is an archaeal organism adapted to living in conditions of elevated salt and temperature. Thermodynamic data reveal that the interaction between the TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) from this organism and DNA has an entirely different character to the same interaction in mesophilic counterparts. In the case of the Pw TBP, the affinity of its interaction with DNA increases with increasing...
