1. Characterization of the DNA-Binding Properties of the Cyanobacterial Transcription Factor NtcA
Abstract : Nitrogen is an essential building block of proteins and nucleic acids and, therefore, crucial for the biosphere. Nearly 79 % of the air consists of nitrogen, but in the form of nitrogen gas (N2), which cannot be utilized by most organisms. READ MORE

3. Protein–DNA Recognition : In Vitro Evolution and Characterization of DNA-Binding Proteins
Abstract : DNA-recognizing proteins are involved in a multitude of important life-processes. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand the underlying mechanisms that set the rules for sequence specific protein–DNA interactions. Previous attempts aiming to resolve these interactions have been focused on naturally occurring systems. READ MORE
