Figure 1. Model of p53 bound to DNA at low (left) vs. high (right) p53 concentrations. p53 dimers are schematically represented by two connected balloons. The DNA RE is represented by a rectangular block when the DNA is rigid (containing the rigid CTAG motif) or by a wavy rectangular block when the DNA is flexible (containing the flexible CATG motif). The drawing is not to scale. The DNA double helix is narrower than the p53 spheres bound to it.
