The interaction of metal cations with single chain glcbular proteins produces volume increases, the magnitude of which is determined primarily by the ion and to a lesser extent by the protein. The cations are listed in ascending order of volume change: K(I) < Mg(II) < Sr(l1) < Ca(I1) < Co(II) < Ni(I
A theoretical study is presented of the influence of salt bridges between cationic side chains and DNA phosphates on DNA conformation and flexibility. The DNA sequence studied is that of the catabolite activator protein binding oligomer from the crystallized complex. The effect of salt bridges is mo
