The specific conformation (shape)of DNA binding regulatory proteins is such that these proteins can interact and bind to:
A)specific bases in the DNA through its major grooves.
B)the phosphate backbone in the DNA.
C)other transcription factors that are trans-acting elements.
D)helicase to help induce transcription.
E)specific bases in the DNA through its minor grooves.
