title: DNA binding properties of c-Myc-related bHLH/LZ oncoproteins.
abstract: Structural features and DNA binding properties of bacterially expressed c-Myc related oncoproteins were examined. The circular dichroism spectra demonstrated highly alpha-helical nature of these proteins. Dimerization and the DNA binding of these proteins were examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay.
