Question

As part of their normal function, many proteins bind to dna briefly and then release it again. which types of bonds might be involved in these transient protein-dna interactions? (select all that apply.)

Answer 1

The type of bonds that are involved in these transient protein - DNA interactions include: IONIC BOND, VANDER WAAL FORCES AND HYDROGEN BOND.
Protein - DNA interaction occur when a protein bind to DNA molecule; this reaction usually occur in order to regulate the function of DNA, especially that of expression of genes. Protein interaction with DNA may be specific or non specific.
