Abstract excerpt
Upon binding to estrogens, the ERα nuclear receptor acts as a transcription factor and mediates a multitude of cellular functions central to health and disease. Herein, using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and circular dichroism (CD) in conjunction with molecular modeling (MM), we analyze the effect of symmetric introduction of single nucleotide variations within each half-site of the estrogen response...
