Predicting dissociation free energies of protein-DNA complexes


Sequence-specific protein–DNA interactions are crucial in processes such as DNA organization, gene regulation and DNA replication. Thor van Heesch, Peter Bolhuis and Jocelyne Vreede have developed a molecular simulation approach to quantify the sequence specificity of protein–DNA complexes, that yields results fast, and is generally applicable to any protein–DNA complex. The approach is based on molecular […]
