Abstract excerpt
Binding of the N-terminal domain of the lambda repressor to DNA is coupled to dimerization. Hydrophobic interactions between helix-5 and helix-5' drive the packing at the dimer interface. We have carried out computations of the conformational energy of packing of the fifth helices (and of the helix-4-loop-helix-5 portions) of variants of the lambda repressor operator binding domain, using an ECEPP/3-based packing...
