The p23 Molecular Chaperone and GCN5 Acetylase Jointly Modulate Protein-DNA Dynamics
An in-depth understanding of any machine requires classification of the individual parts, knowledge on how the components connect, and recognition of the mechanisms propelling the assembled pieces into a running unit. As biologist we have made admirable progress in naming the numerous physical...
