Abstract excerpt
Trp repressor is the only DNA-binding regulatory protein having a helix-turn-helix motif that has been reported to engage its operator target by a mechanism termed indirect readout: the Trp repressor-DNA interface is replete with hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues and non-esterified oxygen atoms of the sugar-phosphate backbone, and contains numerous specifically positioned water molecules. In Escherichia...
