Abstract excerpt
We report here an investigation of the role of electrostatics in homeodomain-DNA interactions using techniques based around the use of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. In the present case such a study is of particular interest, since in contrast to other proteins previously studied with this method, the homeodomain is a small, highly charged protein that forms extensive ion pairs upon binding DNA. We have...
