Certain proteins can bind to specific DNA regulatory sequences by
A)entering the major groove of the DNA and reading the nucleotide base pairs.
B)entering the minor groove of the DNA and reading the nucleotide base pairs.
C)entering the major groove of RNA and reading the nucleotide base pairs.
D)entering DNA's major groove by using DNA polymerase and reading the nucleotide base pairs.
E)entering DNA's minor groove by using DNA polymerase and reading the nucleotide base pairs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins that bind to specific DNA regulatory sequences typically enter the major groove of DNA and read the nucleotide base pairs. The major groove provides more direct access to the sequence information than the minor groove.
