Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a methylated cytosine/guanine dinucleotide. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nucleotide, any compound consisting of a nucleoside that is esterified with (ortho)phosphate or an oligophosphate at any hydroxyl group on the ribose or deoxyribose moiety. The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
