General Information
Term DNA binding, bending ID (Ontology) GO:0008301 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The activity of binding selectively and non-covalently to and distorting the original structure of DNA, typically a straight helix, into a bend, or increasing the bend if the original structure was intrinsically bent due to its sequence.[ PubMed:10710711 PubMed:19037758 ]
Also Known As "DNA bending activity" ; "DNA bending involving DNA binding"
