Transcription factors and DNA play hide and seek

DM Suter - Trends in cell biology, 2020 - cell.com
Transcription factors (TFs) bind to specific DNA motifs to regulate the expression of target
genes. To reach their binding sites, TFs diffuse in 3D and perform local motions such as 1D …

Dynamics of protein synthesis and degradation through the cell cycle
