Discrimination between related DNA sites by a single amino acid residue of Myc-related basic-helix-loop-helix proteins.

abstract：:This paper is devoted to the study of the arithmetic properties of values of G-functions introduced by Siegel [Siegel, C. L. (1929) Abh. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Phys.-Math. Kl. 1]. One of the main results is a theorem on the linear independence of values of G-functions at rational points close to the origin. In this theor...
