Chemistry & Biochemistry Colloquium – Raj Virdi – Frick Research Group – Use of Reptation Theory to Explain How Proteins Rapidly move on DNA

Chemistry Room 190 3210 N. Cramer Street, Milwaukee

Abstract Single stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding proteins (SSBs) bind selectively to ssDNA with high affinity and little sequence specificity, preventing ssDNA from annealing to its complementary sequence. Previously, Ha Lab showed E. coli SSB, a representative homotetrameric SSB, moving on... Read More
