Molecular dynamics simulations of the glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domain suggest a role of the lever-arm mobility in transcriptional output.

One of the first and essential steps in gene expression regulation involves the recruitment of transcription factors (TFs) to specific response elements located at enhancers and/or promoters of targeted genes. These DNA elements have a certain variability in both sequence and length, which may affec...
