Single molecule studies of DNA bending, looping and compacting proteins using optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy

Protein-DNA interactions can be characterized and quantified using single molecule methods such as optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In this work, we characterize the binding of high mobility group B (HMGB) architectural proteins and HIV-1 viral protein R to single DNA molecules. W...
