The
place on a molecule
that a recognizer (protein
or macromolecular complex) binds. In this glossary, we will usually consider
nucleic acid binding sites. A classic example is the set of binding sites for the bacteriophage lambda repressor
(ci) protein
on dna (m. Ptashne, how eukaryotic transcriptional activators work, nature, 335, 683-689, 1988). These happen to be
the same as the binding
sites for the lambda cro protein.
(the text mentioned in the figure is sequence
logos: a powerful yet simple, tool.)
