aromatic iteractions in protein-DNA complexes

[anj1]

Hello all,

 

Im trying to figure out the Role of aromatic interactions in tertiary structure of proteins and protein-DNA complexes. Ive looked at a ton of literature, but am not able to find any thing whereby i can consolidate the results ive got with the literature research. Right now i have these three parameters: the angle between the amino acids and DNA base, and the distance at which maximum number of interactions take place and another parameter called the centroid. How do I tie these parameters in with Role of aromatic interactions in tertiary structure of proteins and protein-DNA complexes? I have attached a file with the parameters which explains them to this email. Please note that specific interactions refer to interaction between protein and DNA base and non specific refers to interaction between protein and the ribose sugar.

 

thank you all so much!

 

Cheers.
