title: Single-stranded nucleic acid recognition: is there a code after all?
abstract: Proteins that bind single-stranded nucleic acids have crucial roles in cells, and structural analyses have contributed to a better understanding of their functions. In this issue of Structure, Dickey and colleagues describe several high resolution structures of a single OB-fold bound to different single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) sequences and reveal a spectacular co-adaptability of the protein/ssDNA interactions.
