Interaction of deoxyribonucleic acid with deoxyribonucleic acid-binding protein from starved cells: cluster formation and crystal growing as a model of initial stages of nucleoid biocrystallization.

The paper represents the study of interaction between deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid-binding protein from starved cells (DPS) cluster formation and crystal growing within a cell. This study is a part of the project that includes European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) investigations of in vivo and in vitro nanocrystallization processes of Escherichia coli (E. coli) nucleoid under stress condition combined with theoretical molecular dynamics approaches.
