— Principles of Protein-Nucleic Acid Interactions

(3 units)

Physical basis of protein-nucleic acid interaction. Nucleic acid recognition by proteins, thermodynamics of protein-nucleic acid stability, and kinetics of binding process for both non-specific and sequence-specific nucleic acid binding proteins. Emphasis on systems that represent paradigms in protein-nucleic acid interactions.
