DNA-Protein Interactions Principles and Protocols, Third Edition

Gene expression can mean the difference between a functional and non-functional genome, between health and disease, and with the development of transgenic crops, the difference between survival and starvation. In DNA-Protein Interactions: Principles and P

Evaluation and exploitation of a 2-D crystallization experiment. Histidine-tagged yeast RNA polymerase I is incubated with nickel chelating lipids. (A) Low magnification electron microscopy image showing the organization of the protein complex into domains. The bar represents 5 µm Cover Inset Images: Chapter 1, Fig. 1. The structure of the minimal MetJ repressor-operator complex (pdb 1cma). The sequence of the consensus two met box operator (top strand) is shown alongside from 5’ (top) to 3’ (bottom). The repressor is shown as a ribbon representation with one subunit shaded. The corepressor molecules (AdoMet) are shown as ball and stick representations and the DNA operator is a framework model. (I am grateful to Prof. Simon Phillips and his colleagues for production of this figure.) Chapter 9, Fig. 3. Summary of the results. Bottom: Space filling representation of the operator site showing the positions where ethyl
