摘要
It is becoming well accepted that water plays an important role in both the specificity and affinity of protein-DNA interactions. Recently, a combination of structural, biochemical and thermodynamic techniques has particularly enhanced our understanding of the role of water in complexes between DNA and three different proteins: the trp repressor; the homeodomain; and the glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domain.
