Bacteriophage λ is a paradigm in the field of gene regulation and one of the best-understood
systems in genetic regulatory biology. A so-called Genetic Switch determines the …

The interactions between protein-DNA are essential for various biological activities. In this
review, we provide an overview of protein-DNA interactions that emphasizes the importance …

We have determined the binding strengths between nucleotides of adenine, thymine,
guanine and cytosine in homogeneous single stranded DNAs and homo‐octapeptides …

FOXP2 is a member of the P subfamily of FOX transcription factors, the DNA-binding domain
of which is the winged helix forkhead domain (FHD). In this work we show that the FOXP2 …

Ultrafast electron transfer (ET) phenomenon in protein and protein–DNA complex is very
much crucial and often leads to the regulation of various kinds of redox reactions in …

Water molecules in hydrophobic biological cleft/cavities are of contemporary interest for the
biomolecular structure and molecular recognition of hydrophobic ligands/drugs. Here, we …

Although all forms of dynamical behaviour of a protein under allosteric interaction with
effectors are predicted, little evidence of ultrafast dynamics in the interaction has been …

Noncovalent interactions between protein and DNA are important to comprehend different
biological activities in living organisms. One important issue is how the protein identifies the …

Labelling of proteins with some extrinsic probe is unavoidable in molecular biology
research. Particularly, spectroscopic studies in the optical region require fluorescence …

An overwhelming number of structural and functional studies on specific protein–DNA
complexes reveal the existence of water molecules at the interaction interface. What role …
