Abstract excerpt
The rate of deuterium exchange of a purine 8CH group in DNA is highly sensitive to both macromolecular secondary structure and intermolecular interactions which restrict solvent access to the major groove [Lamba, O.P., Becka, R., & Thomas, G.J., Jr. (1990) Biopolymers 29, 1465-1477]. We have exploited the sensitivity of the 8CH----8CD reaction to probe DNA recognition by the helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif of phage...
