Integration host factor and DNA. Computer model of integration host factor (IHF,centre) bound to a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid,semi- circle). The secondary structure of IHF is shown. This protein binds to a specific sequence in the DNA and inserts its arms between nucleotides,creating a larger bend in the double helix. This stabilises the DNA molecule during certain processes,including recombination,replication and transcription | |
