DNA sequence-dependent deformability deduced from protein–DNA crystal complexes

WK Olson, AA Gorin, XJ Lu… - Proceedings of the …, 1998 - National Acad Sciences
The deformability of double helical DNA is critical for its packaging in the cell, recognition by
other molecules, and transient opening during biochemically important processes. Here, a …

DNA bending: the prevalence of kinkiness and the virtues of normality

RE Dickerson - Nucleic acids research, 1998 - academic.oup.com
