Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The HU protein is an abundant DNA binding protein of bacteria and is a major constituent of the bacterial nucleoid. HU protein is known to be involved in several fundamental biological functions, including DNA supercoiling, DNA replication, site-specific DNA inversion, and transpositi...
