title: Observations on the covalent cross-linking of the binding domain (BD) of the high mobility group I/Y (HMG I/Y) proteins to DNA by FR66979.
abstract: FR66979, a drug closely related to the mitomycin C class of antitumor antibiotics, is shown to covalently cross-link DNA to the DNA-binding domain of the High Mobility Group I/Y (HMG I/Y) DNA-binding proteins in the minor groove.
