The basic features of DNA were elucidated during the half-century following the discovery of
the double helix. But it is only during the past decade that researchers have been able to …

Transcription activation by Escherichia coli catabolite activator protein (CAP) at each of two
classes of simple CAP-dependent promoters is understood in structural and mechanistic …

The early notion of DNA as a passive target for regulatory proteins has given way to the
realization that higher-order DNA structures and DNA-protein complexes are at the basis of …

▪ Abstract This review attempts to substantiate the notion that nonlinear DNA structures allow
prokaryotic cells to evolve complex signal integration devices that, to some extent, parallel …

Plasmids are self-replicative DNA elements that are transferred between bacteria. Plasmids
encode not only antibiotic resistance genes but also adaptive genes that allow their hosts to …

Regulation of transcription involves the assembly of multiprotein complexes at enhancers
and promoters. Interactions between adjacent and non-adjacent DNA-binding proteins can …

The flexibility and stiffness of small DNA molecules play a fundamental role ranging from
several biophysical processes to nano-technological applications. Here, we estimate the …

ROR α 1 and ROR α 2 are two isoforms of a novel member of the steroid-thyroid-retinoid
receptor superfamily and are considered orphan receptors since their cognate ligand has …

The purpose of this project was to determine if alveolar bone modeling could be associated
with altered mechanical environment. Finite element stress analysis of an orthodontically …

CysB is a member of the LysR family of transcriptional activators and regulates genes of the
cysteine regulon in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. CysB binds to specific …
