Abstract excerpt
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the specific interaction between transcription factor proteins and DNA is key to comprehend the regulation of gene expression and to develop technologies to engineer transcription factors. Thus far, although there have been several attempts to elucidate protein-DNA interaction through amino acid-base recognition codes, sequence based profiles, or physical models of...
