An activity that results in binding to DNA and distorting the original structure of DNA, typically a straight helix, into a bend, or increasing the bend if the original structure was intrinsically bent due to its sequence. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any nucleic acid. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
