ssDNAbinding
ssDNAbinding refers to the interaction between single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and specific binding molecules, typically proteins or small molecules. This interaction is fundamental in various biological processes, including DNA replication, repair, and transcription. ssDNAbinding proteins are crucial for stabilizing ssDNA, preventing degradation, and facilitating its use in these processes.
One of the most well-known ssDNAbinding proteins is the single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), which is essential
Small molecules that bind to ssDNA are also of interest, particularly in the context of antiviral therapies.
The study of ssDNAbinding is important for understanding DNA metabolism and developing therapeutic strategies. Advances in
