Possible molecular detent in the DNA structure at regulatory sequences

P Lu et al. J Biomol Struct Dyn. 1983 Oct.

Abstract

A common feature that appears in a number of DNA sites where proteins interact is the sequence GTG/CAC. In the lac operator this sequence leads to a region with a higher imino proton exchange rate well below the optical melting temperature. It is suggested that this reflects a structural feature recognized by proteins that bind specific sites on the DNA molecule.
