Proteins as strongly correlated protonic systems.

abstract：:The vertebrate transcription factor CTCF is not only involved in transcriptional activation, insulation and genomic imprinting, but also in transcriptional repression. Sequence motifs mediating these activities have not been identified so far. We have mapped a short repression motif to residues 150-170 within the N-te...
