The Role of Protein Sequence and Global Conformation in DNA Binding Specificity of Members of the CRO Family

The Cro family of bacteriophage DNA-binding proteins demonstrates the substantial conformational changes that can occur in protein evolution while the primary sequence is significantly conserved. Xfaso 1 and Pfl 6 of the Cro family are -helical and mixed -helical/- sheet, respectively, despite sh...
