Tryptophan 54-57 H-NS Escherichia coli 69-73 2450042-4 1988 Binding of H-NS to nucleic acids, however, results in a change of the microenvironment of the Trp residue and fluorescence quenching; from the titration curves obtained with addition of increasing amounts of poly(dA)-poly(dT) and poly(dC)-poly(dG) it can be estimated that an H-NS dimer in 1.5 x SSC binds DNA with an apparent Ka approximately equal to 1.1 x 10(4) M-1.bp-1. Tryptophan 94-97 H-NS Escherichia coli 11-15
