Adaptability at a protein-DNA interface: re-engineering the engrailed homeodomain to recognize an unnatural nucleotide

Matthew D Simon et al. J Am Chem Soc. .

Abstract

We explore the adaptability at a protein-DNA interface using phage display to re-engineer a homeodomain to specifically recognize a chemically synthesized, unnatural nucleotide. The engineered homeodomain preferentially binds to the modified DNA with affinity and specificity similar to those of natural homeodomains.
