Abstract excerpt
Lac repressor is a DNA-binding protein which inhibits the expression of a series of genes involved in lactose metabolism. Lac repressor can bind at a random DNA site via nonspecific interactions; then, it rapidly translocates through the double chain of DNA until it finds the specific binding site. Therefore, the site transform between these two modes is essential for the specific recognition between Lac...
