Determination of the extent of DNA bending by an adenine-thymine tract.

abstract：:Duplication of a single β-strand that forms part of a β-sheet in photoactive yellow protein (PYP) was found to produce two approximately isoenergetic protein conformations, in which either the first or the second copy of the duplicated β-strand participates in the β-sheet. Whereas one conformation (big-loop) is more s...
