The lysine residues implicated in the gene 5 protein association sites

Gene 5 protein, a DNA unwinding protein encoded by the bacteriophage fd, is self-associative in presence of DNA or oligonucleotides. The lysine residues implicated in the protein-protein binding domains have been identified after modification with acetimidate by means of peptide and amino acid analyses. These residues are Lys-7 and Lys-69.
