Abstract excerpt
The salt concentration dependences of the observed association constants (Kobs) for the binding of wild-type lac repressor tetramer and the dimeric lacI-18 mutant repressor to lactose operator DNA were compared. For both proteins, the data are consistent with a class of linkage models in which ion binding by the protein is driven by differences in the ionic concentrations in bulk solution and in the volume near...
