Analysis of effects of salts and uncharged solutes on protein and nucleic acid equilibria and
processes: a practical guide to recognizing and interpreting polyelectrolyte effects, Hofmeister …

For two decades, the core histone N-termini generally have been thought of as unstructured
domains whose function is to bind to DNA and screen negative charge. New data indicates …

This paper considers how enzymes that catalyze reactions at specific DNA sites have been
engineered to overcome the problem of competitive inhibition by excess nonspecific binding …

Interactions of the solutes glycine betaine (GB) and urea with mononucleosomal calf thymus
DNA in aqueous salt solutions are characterized by vapor pressure osmometry (VPO) …

It is important to establish the structural properties of linker histones to understand the role
they play in chromatin higher order structure and gene regulation. Here, we use CD, NMR …

Many studies of specific protein-nucleic acid binding use short oligonucleotides or restriction
fragments, in part to minimize the potential for nonspecific binding of the protein. However …

A series of comb-type copolymers comprised of various polycation backbones and dextran
(Dex) side chains were prepared to study the DNA/copolymer interaction. While the cationic …

bZip proteins contain a bipartite DNA-binding motif consisting of a “leucine zipper”
dimerization domain and a highly charged “basic region” that directly contacts DNA. These …

Binding constants K obs, expressed per site and evaluated in the limit of zero binding
density, are quantified as functions of salt (sodium acetate) concentration for the interactions …

Basic region leucine zipper (bZip) proteins contain a bipartite DNA‐binding motif consisting
of a coiled‐coil leucine zipper dimerization domain and a highly charged basic region that …
