A common feature that appears in a number of DNA sites where proteins interact is the sequence GTG/CAC. In the lac operator this sequence leads to a region with a higher imino proton exchange rate well below the optical melting temperature. It is suggested that this reflects a structural feature recognized by proteins that bind specific sites on the DNA molecule.
在许多蛋白质相互作用的DNA位点中出现的一个共同特征是序列GTG/CAC。在乳糖操纵子中,这个序列导致一个区域的亚氨基质子交换速率较高,且远低于光学熔解温度。有人认为,这反映了一种被与DNA分子上特定位点结合的蛋白质所识别的结构特征。
