Comparison of two different DMA-binding modes of the NF-kappaB p50 homodimer

Analysis of the NF-kappaB p50 homodimer bound to different DNA sequences shows that the protein can recognize half-site spacings of either three or four base pairs. The protein can maintain most of its DNA contacts by a relative reorientation of its two domains.
